Happy Face 29 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The Beatles - Love Rather dissappointing. Just another excuse to re-release the same old tosh (brilliant tosh though, obviously). I was hoping for drastic re-workings, but almost every song is basically the same as a previous incarnation (either the album or anthology version) but with an atmospheric intro or some found sounds layered on top, they might have altered the mix for 5.1 so that the bass on Lucy in the Sky is given centre stage rather than the keyboards, but is that really worth the bother? Occassionally they do mash something up, but it's basically a stars-on-45 style run of hits rather than an imaginative melding of the vocal from one track and the backing of another. What moments of surprise there are (there are a few, like slowing down Ringo's vocal for Octopus's Gareden and layering it over Good Night) are short-lived and quickly thrown away in preference of sticking to the original. It'll get a lot of listening time from me, because they're great songs and I couldn't say they've been devalued, just that if you want a beatles mash-up this can't really touch The Grey Album.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards Any cop? Have been hovering over the "Add to cart" button the last couple of times I've been to Amazon. I'm not a huge fan of Tom Waits tbh. Every so often I fancy hearing someone with a grizzled voice, but I can never usually last a full album of his. No change with this one. Canny tunes but I got bored and turned it off after 4 or so. Sounded exactly the same as what I've heard from him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curry stained pilchard 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Strange Fruit - Jeff Buckley Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant South The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop Wikipedia - Strange Fruit Worth 5 minutes of anyone's time...
