Beck - Inferno - Non-Album Tracks (1996-1997)

As I've mentioned previously, Beck has been so prolific that for each album he's put out, one can often make another quality album from the stray tracks done around that same time. That's definitely the case for his 1990s work. I've already put out companion albums for "Mellow Gold" (two of them, actually), "Mutations," and "Midnite Vultures." This is the companion album for his classic "Odelay."

The songs here are very much in the style of Odelay, though the last tune is a solo acoustic blues cover. Odelay is a great album, for sure. Unfortunately, I don't think this is in the same league. I think for instance his stray tracks from the Mutations era are stronger. That said, there still is a lot of good music here, and at the very least Beck keeps things interesting.

Most of the songs here are B-sides to Odelay era singles, or bonus tracks from the regular version of that album, or the deluxe version. There's one song from a various artists compilation. About half of the songs were released in 1996 and half in 1997, so I imagine this as an album he could have put out in 1997, if he wanted to go that route.

The cover art is the cover of "The New Pollution" single. I removed that title and used the letters from within it to spell out "Inferno" instead.
