My main criticism of the album is that the first half, though good, is not as strong as the second half, which is amazing. The retro, otherworldly, 80s/chillwave synthesizers create the impression of being in a dream which might turn out to be a nightmare or watching a dystopian science fiction movie.
Fans will recognize this grim tone from some of the singer/songwriter’s previous albums, such as The Information and Modern Guilt. The lyrics are often quite bleak, examining the dark sides of interpersonal relationships, society, and existence. The 14th album from Beck, and first since 2017’s double-Grammy-winning ‘Colors’, shows the LA-born artist on top experimental form. The sounds are ethereal and beautiful, yet melancholy.
As always, Beck’s songwriting is magnificent the album contains some of his best songs since Morning Phase (see “See Through,” “Hyperspace,” and “Star”). He does cover some new ground, such as chillwave. On his new album, Beck takes the R&B, trap-influenced pop, and 80s pop genres, all of which he has dabbled in before, and turns them up to 10. On his new album, Beck takes the R&B, trap-influenced pop, and 80s pop genres, all of which he has dabbled I would give Hyperspace an 8.5/10. The limited-edition vinyl contains two extra tracks - a “Soundscape” version of “Dark Places” and Beck’s quarantine-recorded solo acoustic rendition of Chris Bell’s “I Am the Cosmos” - as well as new 2020 mixes of the album’s “Star,” “Hyperspace,” “See Through” and “Die Waiting.” The reissue, available to preorder now, also features a holographic jacket and a 24-page booklet with AI images and NASA data for each track.I would give Hyperspace an 8.5/10. In addition to the visual album, Beck also announced a deluxe reissue of Hyperspace, due out December 4th.

Now, I’m all up for a sweet late night drive record and honestly, if Beck made a full on chill out ambient pop album, I’d be all over that. “I think each song is kind of a different way that different people ‘hyperspace’ - we escape from the reality that we’re dealing with,” Beck said of the pairing in a statement. Sure, Hyperspace is a rather calming and pleasant record and its synthpop beats and sounds make it another part of the man’s ever growing smorgasbord of style, but it’s also, frankly, boring. then began creating its own visions of our universe.”Įach Hyperspace track was then linked with images from a specific mission for example, the album’s “Dark Places” features photos culled from the Hubble Space Telescope’s extensive archives for the visual album. The song is also aided by backup vocals by Sky Ferreira. On the track, Beck sings about how he has endured a lot of emotional highs and lows to walk out the door, but he’s got the patience to see it through. After training on hundreds of thousands of images, videos and data points from NASA’s space exploration research and missions, the Hyperspace A.I. There is a lot of focus on time on this album, in a way that slows down and shifts between then and now. utilizing computer vision, machine learning and Generative Adversarial neural Networks (GAN) to learn from NASA’s vast archives. “In finding the answer, OSK created a unique A.I. architects and directors OSK, who asked ‘How would artificial intelligence imagine our universe?'” Beck and NASA said of the project. But that seesaw of antique blues and modern artifice sums up. “The realization of these Hyperspaces was executed by A.I. Pharrell Williams, Beck’s chief accomplice on Hyperspace, drums in martial-funk time and speed raps like a digital assistant in a rush. Experience pairs each track from Beck’s 2019 LP with space mission images curated by NASA’s artificial intelligence technology. After teasing out the release of 2016s Colors for years, it feels surprisingly quick that Becks follow-up record Hyperspace arrives only about two years. The pulled steel strings, blowsy harmonica, cheesy rat-tat rhythms and flat-line rap of Saw Lightning brings us back in time to. Beck and NASA have teamed up on a visual album that transforms the singer’s Hyperspace into a journey through the cosmos. If Beck’s Hyperspace has a quiet mission statement, this is it.
