And then came Odelay -- a thoroughly carefree-sounding affair that made everyone take this boyish imp very seriously.

It's the album where he managed to combine the disparate noise, blues, and subverted hippie-isms of his early work into a showy post-modern marvel. In hindsight, the record sounds like the world's most accomplished demo reel-- an introductory smorgasbord pumped-up on its own premeditated randomness.

The origins of Mutations ' shambling acoustic blues can be found within come-down closer "Ramshackle". And Odelay 's funkiest, most scatterbrained tracks like "Where It's At" and "High 5 Rock the Catskills " were later pushed to their logical extreme on Midnite Vultures ' ingenious Prince-isms.

Add some sweeping strings and "Jack-Ass" easily becomes a Sea Change highlight. So while Beck has spent the last 12 years largely sampling and expounding upon the ideas he presented on his most popular album, Odelay 's most distinguishing feature is its effortless summation of decades of popular music by-way-of the Dust Brothers' still-fresh production.

Though the LP was a huge commercial success, its sound was never successfully equaled by savvy opportunists. Chalk it up to the increasingly complicated legalities of sampling, as Beck explained in a interview: "Back [on Odelay ] it was basically me writing chord changes and melodies, and then endless records being scratched and little sounds coming off the turntable. Tellingly, when Beck and the Dust Brothers tried to recreate their signature style on 's Guero they couldn't pull it off, inadvertently reinforcing Odelay 's lasting appeal in the process.

To some, it may seem a bit premature for this year-old LP to get the deluxe treatment, but in this age of shameless instant-reissues put forth by disintegrating major labels, it's a relatively classy if not exactly indispensable barrel scrape. Along with a playfully drawn-over cover and liner note contributions from Thurston Moore and Dave Eggers, the reissue is padded with an entire disc of era-appropriate B-sides along with two previously unreleased tracks.

While sometimes intriguing and ecstatic, the bonus tracks rarely live up to anything from the proper album. Of the unearthed songs, the schizophrenic dial-flip pastiche "Inferno" contains many genre-hopping ideas across its seven minutes but none are fully realized. And "Gold Chains" is a decidedly less funky version of "Sissyneck" with lyrical hip-hop symbolizers in place of country tropes.

Unwisely, the extra disc begins with U.
