The "new" Beatles album, a mega-mashup. alt-mixed by George Martin, and oddly emotional. I'm in floods of non-tears listening to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I believe George Martin has gone over all the Beatles master-tapes, and re-integrated them, bootlegged them, mashed them up, put one song over another, fiddled about with them. The result is actually quite moving. It's released next week I think, but it's available for TRY BEFORE YOU BUY on the internet. |

Listening to Within You Without You being crooned over the top of the instrumentalisation of Tomorrow Never Knows is a truly wonderful experience.... coming hot on the heels of Strawberry Fields Forever ceding to a wonderful sonic collage blast leading into it. |

It's pretty cute but it's not something that I'm going to listen to more than once or twice. Definitely a worthwhile experiment though. What most struck me when listening to some of this was the sound quality... it's so good. Makes me really want that entire catalogue straight up remixed and remastered. |
||||||||

|
wow, thanks, never heard of this one, going to have to get it whe its released, haven't bought an album for ages, this one sounds worth it. Would love the other albums to be remastered too, can't believe the haven't done it already! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really?! I'd not heard about this! Thanks for the heads-up, marlowe! |
||||||||

sounds like a very odd idea :S |
||||||||

I think i heard a version of while my guitar gently weeps on the radio. It was good, better than the original i'd say. |
||||||||
|

|
|
where is this on the internets? |
||||||||
|
|

You can get it at demonoid if you lack scruples, or you can go to thebeatles.com and they have some samples there. |
||||||||

the beatles can suck my cock...-aroach |
||||||||
|

I got it from Demonoid, and my share ratio is already at 8, so it's a popular one. I appear to be unscrupulous in the eyes of Seigneur Jay Worth! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

anyone who doubts the beatles musical talents needs to listen to this! The remastering is superb, sod listening to it once or twice, i'll be listening to this more than any other beatles album until the studio albums are remastered! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in case you are wondering, the remixes aren't too far away from the originals, which is good, i was fearing a mess of samples but its not, its really well put together |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good marketing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder what they mean by remastered? Cause they used they best gear back then, too. Fucking vacume tube mixers and shit. This is some wicked music. Whoever put it together was as much an artist as the anyone of the fab four. And it sounds A M A Z I N G! |
||||||||

Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows Holy Krishna |
||||||||
|
|

It was George Martin and his son Giles that put it together. Martin is pretty much a Beatle as far as I'm concerned, that guy knows music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this would be a perfect thread if it was about The Beatles and Love the two artists i am discovering at the moment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if they used time correction bring stuff together. Sounds too good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Anybody ever hear the remixes on Yellow Submarine Songtrack? I thought they were big improvement, but Martin had nothing to do with them so they were quite a bit different from the original mixes. I like the sound on Love, it's a step forward but it's more loyal. Martin knows what to do with this music. And the album has grown on me, it's real ear candy. |
||||||||

That's the stand-out track for me, just beautiful... and my baby daughter dances to it, too :) |
||||||||

|
|
no talk about the beatles on this board thank you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some absolutely beautiful moments on this record... that remix of strawberry fields.. and the mash-up of mr. kite / i want you is fucking INTENSE. great stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What a sound!! It's made for 5.1 but on headphones it sounds so unbelievable clear. This is a total fresh experience to enjoy their beautiful songs once again. The only drawback is that it sounded a bit too much like a cut and paste job at places. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't this made for Cirque du Soleil? |

the beatles are great.but i prefer love hehe but i know this thread is about the beatleas but anyway LOVE |

If boiled down to a simple synopsis, the Beatles' LOVE sounds radical: assisted by his father, the legendary Beatles producer George, Giles Martin has assembled a remix album where familiar Fab Four tunes aren't just refurbished, they're given the mash-up treatment, meaning different versions of different songs are pasted together to create a new track. Ever since the turn of the century, mash-ups were in vogue in the underground, as such cut-n-paste jobs as Freelance Hellraiser's "Stroke of Genius" -- which paired up the Strokes' "Last Night" with Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" -- circulated on the net, but no major group issued their own mash-up mastermix until LOVE in November 2006. Put in those terms, it seems like LOVE is a grand experiment, a piece of art for art's sake, but that's hardly the case. Its genesis lies with the Beatles agreeing to collaborate with performance dance troupe Cirque du Soleil on a project that evolved into the Las Vegas stage show LOVE, an extravaganza that cost well over 100 million dollars and was designed to generate revenue far exceeding that. During pre-production, all involved realized that the original Beatles tapes needed to be remastered in order to sound impressive by modern standards when pumped through the huge new theater -- the theater made just with this dance revue in mind -- and since they needed to be tweaked, they might as well use the opportunity to do something different with the familiar music, too: to remix and re-imagine it, to make LOVE be something unique to both the Beatles and Cirque du Soleil. Keep in mind the Cirque du Soleil portion of the equation: George and Giles Martin may have been given free reign to recontextualize the Beatles' catalog, but given that this was for a project that cost hundreds of millions of dollars this wasn't quite the second coming of The Grey Album, where Danger Mouse surreptitiously mashed up The White Album with Jay-Z's The Black Album. This isn't an art project and it isn't underground, eit |

anyways, yeah i love it. i could easily throw away the originals and continue to live with these |
||||||||

fab four ey hehe |
||||||||
|

hah, yeah, well said :) |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yea ew |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its important not to think about Cirque du Soleil when listening to this album. Could ruin it for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I have a crippling fear of circuses and that kind of perfomance art, and I'll never watch this show, but the album stands on its own. It's not big deal. I love the Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing mashup. What You're Doing is an underrated gem, nice to see it get some airtime amongst all the ubiquitous standards. |

i'm really enjoying listening to this album. the reversed sun king into 'something' was a great moment - i'm not sure 'something' has ever sounded so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it all sounds very haunting, particularly the iwantyou/helterskelter mash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can anyone invite me to demonoid so that i can download this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just search the normal torrent-sites. it's everywhere... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FLAC is not. But i found a .wav, just as good i guess, but bigger. If it's as good as you all are saying it is I want it lossless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tsk tsk if you want it lossless YOU BUY IT SPOILED BRAT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
though it makes me wonder when this wav version is smaller than the FLAC version I see on that site... oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it's good I will. But I don't buy music anymore until I've listened to it at least once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...in lossy mp3 btw, have you ever ABX'd between a good mp3-rip and a lossless rip? my point being: odds are you can't tell the difference in a blind test |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know, but it makes me feel better. Plus I've spent a lot of time downloading shitty mp3 rips from torrents, and it gets annoying. People apparently can't be bothered to learn how to use LAME properly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually I might just go pick this up tomorrow and save the trouble... I thought it would be expensive, but apparently it's only $15 at bestbuy. At least it won't be that dissapointing if I don't like it. |
