Beck's new album, The Information, is really wonderful. What really makes it great is track 15 (you heard right), the last track, oddly titled "The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton. The first five minutes are an actual song, and the last 5 minutes are like bonus noise (with people talking about spaceships and changes). The track itself is 10 minutes and 36 seconds and reminds me of the music of Godspeed You Black Emperor. The list of trax:

1. Elevator Music

2. Think I'm In Love

3. Cellphone's Dead

4. Strange Apparition

5. Soldier Jane

6. Nausea

7. New Round

8. Dark Star

9. We Dance Alone

10. No Complaints

11. 1000 BPM

12. Motorcade

13. The Information

14. Movie Theme

15. The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton

 

The cover is basically graph paper, and it comes with a whole bunch of stickers so, like they say, you can design your own cover. Beck is getting more eccentric, because this album includes such "instruments" as a Speak-n-Spell, Tote-A-Tune, and a Gameboy. It also includes a DVD which I haven't watched yet. So I definitely reccomend you buy this CD. (Of course, I am one of Beck's biggest fans.) Also, I'm working on a 10-minute long MIDI of my own composition inspired by "Horrible Fanfare" (don't know what to call it yet, I have a little over 2 minutes done.)
