''Deconstructing Beck'' is an album that was produced in 1998 by an anonymous group posing as Illegal Art. The album is a compilation of 13 songs created completely from Beck samples, samples that were not legally approved by Beck's recording label. Illegal Art's actions set off a large scale legal battle between the two record labels and attracted worldwide media attention. According to Steven Shaviro, the release of ''Deconstructing Beck'' served as a challenge to the music industry since the music artist Beck creates a majority of his music by sampling other artists' original music. == About ''Deconstructing Beck'' == ''Deconstructing Beck'' is a compilation of 13 songs which were all created by mixing together several of Beck's songs. The album was produced by the anonymous sample recording label named Illegal Art which was created by an anonymous person(s) calling himself/herself/themselves Philo T. Farnsworth. "The samples have been manipulated electronically in various ways. The resulting thirteen tracks, by a number of different pseudonymous artists, have a "do-it-yourself" feel. Most of them were made on Macintosh computers, with relatively inexpensive software. By the standards of the recording industry, this makes it low-tech. The CD’s sound varies from track to track, but overall it is far more abrasive than Beck’s original music. Some of the pieces work as witty commentaries on their source. Others change the music unrecognizably, breaking it into abstract formal patterns."〔()〕 Songs include:〔()〕 # Mr. Meridies "Paving the Road to Hell Pt2" # Jane Dowe "Puzzels & Pagans" # Huk Don Phun "Killer Control Enters Blackhole" # Steev Hise "Stuck Together, Falling Apart" # The International Bankers "Void Transaction" # Corporal Blossom "Burning Today's Memory" # Mr. Meridies "So Cal Weevil Dream" # The Evolution Control Committee "One Beck in the Grave" # Spacklequeen "Eggs eggs, arms legs" # Hromlegn Kainn "Doublefolded" # Mr. Meridies "Carpet Tunnel Syndrome" # Jane Dowe "Bust a Move" # J.
