However, moving from mellow acoustic ramblings into ingenious electronic sound collage, Beck demanded everyone's undivided attention with Odelay. Collaborating with the Dust Brothers-whose everything-but-the-kitchen-sink production methods had already revolutionized the Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique--Beck crafted an album that sounded like it came from somewhere between Memphis, Manhattan and Mars.
