Details Lead Performance: Beck; Genre: Rock

An eponymous title, if not used for the musician's first album, is usually saved for a project deemed particularly representative. Leave it to Beck to make his Beck a limited edition, Web order collection of ''Midnite Vultures'' B sides, remixes, and prank phone calls. In the Costello tradition, he's issued a ''title song'' on a subsequent project: ''Midnite Vultures'' is a languorous, bluesy vamp that would've been a nice addition to the same named CD. Best and worst are two ''Mixed Bizness''es, one a tropicalia mix outstripping the original, the other an industrial assault borrowing only the title words.
