Glass has always inspired electronic artists across the pop spectrum with his compositions, so it's fitting that, in honor of his 75th birthday, Beck Hansen decided to create this album. The idea for Rework came about during a conversation between Beck and Philip Glass (they're good friends).
The artists that have contributed to this album are not huge names but cutting-edge artists (Beck knows a few Icelandic post-ambient laptop composers). Beck seems to have followed a similar path to his British contemporary, Damon Albarn (Blur), becoming a busy producer/enabler, rather than the usual album-tour route. Most recently working with Charlotte Gainsbourg and helping out Bat For Lashes.
Enjoy the following track from the album, which is out now on Amazon and iTunes.
