пять лет молчания, не считая джема с самим Лесом Полом в марте 1983 года по ходу телепередачи Rock’n’Roll Tonight, — и Бек вдруг вырывается в поп-звезды с альбомом Flash (1985) с хитом People Get Ready, которую спел мега-поп-звезда Род Стюарт.... В июле 1985 Джефф Бек выпустил свой второй за 80-е годы диск Flash (№ 39)..... Среди участников записи значились Стюарт, Хаммер, Эппис, Тони Хаймас и певец Джимми Холл, а продюсерами были Найл Роджерс и Артур Бэйкер..... Бек вернулся в 1985-м с альбомом "Flash", в создании которого принимали участие несколько вокалистов. Исполненная Родом Стюартом вещица "People get ready" стала в Британии заметным хитом, а за композицию "Escape" Бек получил "Грэмми" в номинации "Best Rock Instrumental".....
Apparently, Jeff's work with Rod Stewart the previous year on his Camouflage album didn't go completely un-resulted. All of a sudden, after five years of relative inactivity, Beck had decided that he wanted to be really, really cool - like his old pal Roderick, for instance, or like his new pal Mick Jagger with his solo career, or like David Bowie (you get my drift, anyway). To do this, however, it was necessary to sacrifice his reputation - which he did without even blinking an eye. Eh, well, just look at the album cover - Jeff as a hip Eighties star! There are eleven songs on this dull, intolerable record, and all of them are just your typical Eighties dance pop, chock full of drum machines, hi-tech synthey 'riffs', and all that 'cool' electronic stuff that goes with such things, so that at times it all ends up sounding like Modern Talking. Even the two most obvious exceptions on this album are still drenched in the Eighties. The most notable of these, and presumably the album's 'big hit', is the cover of Curtis Mayfield's 'People Get Ready', where Beck gets in some really deep, moving soloing in a Clapton vein (if you heard Clapton's 'Holy Mother', you'll know what I mean). Unfortunately, he made a big mistake by inviting Rod Stewart to perform it - possibly as a 'return of favour' after Beck's work on Camouflage. I mean, Rod pulls it off well, but with his reputation all washed-up and gone, it naturally ends up completely insincere and sleazy, a brain-washing commercial number. And even so, it's the only breath of fresh air on the whole record. The other 'exception' is a brave stab at Eighties metal, on the closing 'Back On The Streets' - here it is the only song penned by Beck himself. With all my love for Eighties metal, though, you know how much I love this tune.
Elsewhere, Jeff relies completely on 'corporate' songwriters - most of the 'songs' are written by his producer Nile Rodgers, with a few unremarkable exceptions, and sung by a certain Jimmy Hall who does have some kind of voice but has no personality at all, and that's the only thing I can say about him. Yeah, Jeff is all over the place this time - unlike his past efforts, here he handles most of the soloing work himself, and I'll be the first to admit that some of his soloing is downright brilliant, lead guitar work of such a quality that most Eighties bands could only hope for. But, as someone clver has remarked, what good is a solo if it doesn't belong to a song? Worthless, shitty tracks like the robotic 'Get Workin'' (did it inspire Mick Jagger for 'Let's Work', I wonder?), or the overblown, anthemic 'Gets Us All In The End' cannot be considered songs by any means. The lyrics, for the most part, are as banal as possible, with the lead-off track ('Ambitious') setting the pattern for the whole record with its 'He's not a bad man, just ambitious'. Well, Beck ain't a bad man, by all means. Ambitious, though. Very ambitious. By the way, that one song is even kinda catchy and funky, but the banal lyrics and the horrendous production suck all the life out of it. On a couple of tracks Beck goes completely instrumental, and that's really better, because it saves you at least some of the problems. This means that sometimes you can just concentrate on the guitarwork, like on the pretty decent 'Escape' (even if it has a terribly overlong introduction), which, as I said, is impressive nevertheless. Plus, Beck gets visited by old friends like Jan Hammer or Carmine Appice from time to time. But who cares? It's obvious that the album's main point lies in songs like 'Stop, Look And Listen' (more like 'Stop Looking And Listening') and 'Nighthawks' (more like 'Where Are The Hunters?'). A complete and unabashed sell-out, and one of the worst spots on Beck's reputation. No, I'm not a huge Beck fan by any means, but this is different from a simple dislike of an artist: it is a case when the artist got too much sucked in by the commercial machine. This, at least, was never a problem with Beck in the past. It's all the more sad when we actually consider the amount of effort and skill he put into his guitar solos on this record. Even on the most horrible numbers like 'Gets Us All In The End' he makes his guitar do unbelievable tricks - it actually seems to me that Beck's instrumental technique has only improved over the years. I suppose that if you are able to close your ears to the backing track and just concentrate on the soloing, you might as well raise the rating here a couple of points. Unfortunately, I can't, and Jimmy Hall gets on my nerves, too. Not to mention Rod. Stay away.
