Only
Beck would be twisted enough to release a
muzak version of his own work.
Saxx Laws (Night Flight to Ojai) is a complete reworking of Beck's hit single
Sexx Laws in the style of
Kenny G or the music you hear during
the Weather Channel local forecast.
The song starts out with a soft thunderclap and the sound of rain, then the
saxx comes in
improvising on Beck's vocal line. The
synthesizers do their
new age-y synthing, and a
fretless bass does its
funkless
fretless bass-ing.
It ends with the sound of
seagulls calling above the
surf. Both the
intro and the
outro are taken straight out of those
white noise relaxation tapes found in
new age shops.
The song credits tell the rest of the story:
The irony at work here just screams
Beck Hansen.
Released on the Mixed Bizness single.
