revolver reloaded

anyone else love revolver reloaded?

Lookingglass...

I posted this June 14... but here it is again...

Has anyone listened to the 40th Anniversary cover CD of the Beatles
REVOLVER?

It is a very interesting cover of the entire recording, and it comes with a
bonus track...RAIN. There are some radical versions of the songs...

mcnews...

ah - an open minded listerner.
i actually love every arrangement.
i agree with what some posters don't like about it, but that's some of
what i like about it. these tunes have been treated many ways and this
is how it;s treated now - but assume little known (in the big bad pop
world) brits. here there and verywhere is the best. i sticks a bit of
across the universe in and sounds like the way radiohead might do it in

mcnews...

dang i said ATU when i meant long and winding road.
the climbing passage from LAWR is borrowed as a bridge and ending for
HTAE.
very nice touch. very nice vocal.

a way. all the harrison songs sound like they actually *get it* better
than the beatles did.
wish i had a joint ...

I like the Wilson Pickett influenced TAXMAN. I don't think the 'bluegrass'
ELEANOR RIGBY works. LOVE YOU TO is gloomy. I like the arrangement of HERE,
THERE, AND EVERYWHERE... the artist utilizes the melody that accompanies the
lyric "knowing that love is to share" earlier in the song... nice backward
instrument (?) usage. The 'mechanical' effects used in YELLOW SUBMARINE are
effective, but it moves a little too slowly. SHE SAID SHE SAID is very
minimalist... pretty much bass accompanied (nicely) till they expand late in
the arrangement. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE... cute... (Alvin and the Chipmunks?).
AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING is dismal. I love FOR NO ONE... accordion, guitar and
some harmonica in place of French horn... I can hear Edith Piaf doing this.
How anyone could ruin the 'middle 8' of DOCTOR ROBERT is beyond me, but they
did. I think a wonderful case is made for I WANT TO TELL YOU... not one of
my favorite songs, but in this version it is lovely... I hear a Dear
Prudence influence...lovely. Finally, GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE sounds
like an 'herb' influenced song, with a touch of Lady Madonna. The most
surprising track here is TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS... astonishing!... and no
'effects'. I don't care for RAIN...dreary.

...just my humble opinion... ;^)

Haven't got it (it's not the new issue is it?)

But note:

The mash-up album REVOLVED (terrible title, shoulda been called

BlackMonk...

That's what he said about the album. Maybe he was making a joke, maybe they
just stuck out for him because he's the one who played those parts.

Re-Evolver) is actually available for free download for the first time

Dale Houstman...

"Re-Evolver"!?...maybe the worst suggestion for a title I've ever heard!

since the BPI gave its assemblers the cease and desist last year. Check
it out at:

The last few tracks go straight to hell, but most of it is a real
mind-bender and a helluva twisted tribute!
