I the topic of Odelay, one of my top fav albums all time,
High 5 (Rock the Catskills)
Always seemed the most Beastiesque to me. The beat, the distorted mic and even the sample that they would eventually use themselves for the De La collab in
Squat.
The video itself has the Watcha Want thermal technique, running around in a forest and mugging the camera up close.
Not only was this produced by the dust brothers, but
Minus was recorded at G-Son studios and has that nice dirty distorted guitar sound. Wondering if Beck used any of the Beastie Boys gear or that guitar is a sample.
The only other Beck song in recent memory that reminds me of Rock the Catskills with the ill communication distorted mic is
Chain Reaction I believe a b-side from the Guero sessions, you can find it on the deluxe version of the album. The beat or bass line in the back reminds me a bit of the grittiness of the OG version of too many rappers.
Other fun notes from the Guero Album, also produced by the Dust Brothers, the lead single, E-Pro, samples the drums in Watcha Want and the remix version of the album, Guerolito has an ad-rock small stars remix of Black Tambourine called
Shake Shake Tambourine
