Stereopathetic Soulmanure


Stereopathetic Soulmanure is the second studio album by American musician Beck. It was released on February 22, 1994, by Flipside. The album shows a strong folk influence, consisting of home recordings, studio recordings, live performances, field recordings, sound collages, and abstract noise experiments.
A lo-fi recording of largely anti-commercial nature, Stereopathetic Soulmanure is Beck's third official recording, the first two being Golden Feelings and A Western Harvest Field by Moonlight. Beck would soon return with the mostly acoustic One Foot in the Grave and Mellow Gold before recording his major label follow-up Odelay.
As of July 2008, Stereopathetic Soulmanure has sold over 146,000 copies in the United States.

Track listing

All songs were written by Beck, except where noted.
Notes
There was a rerelease of the album by Revolver USA on September 25, 2000. This pressing separates "No Money No Honey" over tracks 7 and 8 and breaks parts of "One Foot in the Grave" and "Aphid Manure Heist" over tracks 12, 13 and 14; this caused all tracks after "Crystal Clear " to be off from the track listing on the back cover. This pressing also omits the short snippet of dialog called "Ken", yet keeps "Bonus Noise" on the same track as "Modesto". This pressing causes some online track listings, such as the one at Allmusic, to be incorrect. The actual track listing of this pressing is as follows:
  1. "Pink Noise " – 2:57
  2. "Rowboat" – 3:45
  3. "Thunder Peel" – 1:48
  4. "Waitin' for a Train" – 1:08
  5. "The Spirit Moves Me" – 2:10
  6. "Crystal Clear " – 2:29
  7. "Noise 1" – 0:05
  8. "No Money No Honey" – 2:07
  9. "8.6.82" – 0:37
  10. "Total Soul Future " – 1:48
  11. "One Foot in the Grave" – 1:57
  12. "Noise 2" – 0:17
  13. "Noise 3" – 0:31
  14. "Aphid Manure Heist" – 0:57
  15. "Today Has Been a Fucked Up Day" – 2:34
  16. " "Rollins Power Sauce" " – 1:54
  17. "Puttin' It Down" – 2:23
  18. "11.6.45" – 0:30
  19. "Cut 1/2 Blues" – 2:37
  20. "Jagermeister Pie" – 1:07
  21. "Ozzy" – 2:05
  22. "Dead Wild Cat" – 0:25
  23. "Satan Gave Me a Taco" – 3:46
  24. "8.4.82" – 0:26
  25. "Tasergun" – 3:51
  26. "Modesto" – 20:07
This release can be differentiated from the original 1994 Flipside release in two ways. The rereleased CD has "FLIP660" printed on the CD whereas the original would have "FLIP60". The CD case however still retains the original catalog number on the spines "FLIP60". And there is a message above the barcode on the back of the CD case that reads "Distributed by Revolver USA www.midheaven.com/fi/".
