Editorial Reviews
Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. LOVE is not merely the soundtrack to the stunning Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. It is a fascinating reworking of numerous classic Beatles recordings by the band's original producer, Sir George Martin and his son Giles. In creating the music for the show and for the album, George and Giles have created a continuous 'soundscape' - a series of well-known Beatles songs augmented by additional instrumentation and vocals taken from their vast bank of original multi-track tapes.

There is only one thing about "Love" that I would change. Granted, no WAY could they fit all the relevant psychedelic Beatles songs into the show/onto the album, but I really feel that "Dear Prudence" should have been included. It is listed but it is just a tiny nuance/hint in a transition melange. Just my opinion, but they could have left out "Back in the U.S.S.R.", "Help" and/or "Yesterday" and put in "Dear Prudence", as it cries out to me to be part of "Love", since it is psychedelic, loving and beautiful, speaking to and, in many ways, epitomizing all the themes of "Love" (our connectedness/oneness with nature and each other, etc.). But that is the ONLY thing I'd change, making sure to fit "Dear Prudence" in somehow, instead of just giving it a barely noticeable nod in a transition. Otherwise, the album is perfection.
George Martin has outdone himself. There simply aren\'t enough superlatives for the wonderful, loving, delightful, psychedelic, nostalgic, transporting, brilliant, profound, intricately woven tapestry of a trip he and the Beatles send the listener on with this album, which really must be listened to as just that: the whole album, start to finish. It is a whole, a lovingly, carefully, meticulously, AMAZINGLY mixed whole. Like the lyrics command you:
"Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream."
I cannot believe what Martin & son have done here. I shouldn\'t even write this yet, after just one listen, but I HAVE TO. omg.
First of all, Because. He's done this cosmic version. I mean, the song is already cosmic but then he made it a capella and put these pauses in and, it is just ...I mean...how to describe it...I can\'t! It just takes you immediately into your own kundalini and from there the rest of the album is a journey "within you and without you".
I am normally NOT a proponent of melanges or medleys. But Martin has such a respect for the Beatles songs and a feel for them, and he "melanges" at just the right places but then he also lets one single song flow at just the right places, too. Any and all tinkering with the songs is WONDERFUL, too! Again, normally I would absolutely be against changing one note, one nuance of a Beatles song, but this is George Martin. He has a golden pass, far as I'm concerned. He IS the fifth Beatle, that is so evident in the loving and marvelous job he did on this album.
This just takes you through the entire Beatles experience in a way that I personally have never journeyed it before. It is just totally transporting from beginning to end. Transporting to where, you might ask? To your deepest core, to the outer reaches of the universe, to the Beatle years, to a psychedelic trip into your soul, and then outward into the cosmos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that is just in the first few moments *lol*, it goes on from there!
I just am totally amazed by this album. It\'s love at first listen. Especially for Beatles fans, but I think anyone who listens will be one (a Beatles fan) by the end. If not, you aren\'t someone I'd want to know! You are someone scary without a heart or soul or imagination! Anyone with one or more of those three things will be totally moved by this album.
Where to start as far as the songs themselves? We've already covered the stunning first song, a remixed Because. Then you wouldn\'t think "Get Back" would seamlessly transition in after that, but it DOES! And you feel like you are at Abbey Road hearing them perform it impromptu. A captivating "Glass Onion" follows and then an absolutely heartbreaking and poignant Eleanor Rigby. The little transition byte of "Julia" found me emotional and just took that further. But no tears...yet. We'll get there. "I am the Walrus" blew my socks off and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" added some more Beatlemania to the mix. Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing has some amazing mixing wherein Martin somehow blends two separate and distinct melodies into one piece and makes it seem like they were always meant to harmonize like that! WHAT?!!! How'd he do that?! Get the feather out and knock me over with it.
If I went on and on reviewing each piece, we'd be here all day. "Strawberry Fields" is amazing and somehow--if this can be believed, but it is true, I swear--is even TRIPPIER than the original! "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is BETTER than the original mix. Masterpiece ALERT. By the time we got to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", I suddenly started to! As in, I started bawling like a baby! I have no idea why. I think that this album is so aptly titled "love" because all the songs just evoke such beautiful emotions of love and connectedness to the universe and, I dunno, by the time I heard a few notes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", I was GONE, goodbye! I don\'t know if I was happy or sad or what, but I know the music deeply touched me.
Then for three songs after that I was feeling happy and uplifted: "A Day in the Life", "Hey Jude" (my fave Beatles song of all time), and "Sgt. Pepper". But then darned if "All You Need is Love" didn\'t get me going again, bawling like a baby. By then I'm pretty sure it was tears of joy, though. Joy that such music as this exists in the world.
Get this album. In fact, if everyone on earth would listen to this CD, I'm convinced that harmonic convergence would occur and there would be peace and love throughout the land. Just make sure, before the first time you listen to it, to clear your schedule, turn off the phone, and tune in exclusively to the music, because you are about to go on a trip. A wonderful, psychedelic trip.
My assumption here is that Martin's son, Giles, also given production credit for Love, was primarily on board to back up a man whose ears and hands are more than 80 years old. In other words, the feel of the project seems to be pure George Martin. (If I'm wrong, Giles, forgive me!) And what makes this collection so fascinating - and enjoyable - is that instead of hearing a work - i.e any other original Beatle album - which came from source material that occurred outside our awareness, we're listening to Martin's ideas about songs we already know quite well. Therefore, the Beatles' producer's mind is finally seen in full clarity.
Some of the material here is "merely" vastly improved remixing and remastering, such as Help. A few of the productions are a little forced at times - e.g., Octopus's Garden. But there's a lot of brilliance here and it\'s incredible, to me anyway, that a man of Martin's age still retains so much youthful exuberance in his vision.
As has been said elsewhere, Strawberry Fields is a classic, worth the price of the entire collection. My favorite part is when he's got Piggies and Hello Goodbye going neck and neck, the former changing the meaning of the latter's vocal melody because the chords are so different. If you've heard it, you know just what I'm saying. Another standout is Drive My Car, which has an almost Escher-like morphing process going, involving What You're Doing, Taxman, The Word and Drive My Car. It\'s an amazing arrangement and it\'s SO essentially Beatles that we now get how much of that sound came from this man's imagination.
And taking a cue from their last recording, Abbey Road, the CD ends rather undramatically, with a clip of Lennon from the end of one of the Beatles' early Christmas records made for their fan club members during the 60s - "This is Johnny Rhythm saying 'Good night to yas all - and God bless yas!'" If you're at all into the Beatles, or have ever wanted to be, you'll be really glad you've purchased this CD.
This added after a few listens:
Another interesting touch is the inclusion of complete tracks that were only partly used on the "official" release of certain songs. For instance, the end of Back in the USSR reveals McCartney vocal ad libs that were left off the White Album. Also, I Am the Walrus features more strings than the original, although truthfully, that may be a function of how cleaned up these mixes are. Either way, the experience is new, which is a pretty big deal for (us) Beatle fans that have heard these songs 1000 times over the years.
And one more thought: The transition from Mr. Kite to I Want You is so inspired it makes you smile in disbelief. Too much...

Interessante Zusammenstellung mit kurzen Kommentaren - dennoch keine "Best of..." - einfach kaufen!
Schon allein die Tonqualität macht\'s. Endlich mal ein top Remaster!
Jammer alleen dat de eigenlijke platenhoes wat gedeukt was. Laten vallen? .... De verpakking was goed, dus dat moet reeds voor verpakking gebeurt zijn.
In deze prijsklasse toch jammer dat dat dan toch zo verstuurd wordt. Ik heb het een beetje kunnen uitdeuken ;-)
Urheber dieser neuen Scheibe ist kein geringerer als George Martin, der "5.Beatle" und ehemaliger Toningenieur der Band. An seiner Seite sein Sohn Giles Martin. Sicher war und ist kein anderer Toningenieur - als eben George Martin - geeigneter hierfür die Produktion zu übernehmen, denn der hatte in den 1960er Jahren die Ur-Tapes schließlich abgemischt.
Hintergrund der Neuabmischung ist das seit Sommer 2006 aufgeführte Beatles-Musical des "Cirque du Soleil", welches im "Mirage" in Las Vegas aufgeführt wird.
Die hier für die CD ausgewählten Songs der Beatles wurden für das Musical komplett neu abgemischt, so dass hier teilweise bis zu drei Beatles-Songs miteinander kombiniert wurden und sich so ein anderes Musikerlebnis einstellt, als bei der ursprünglichen Abmischung auf den bereits bekannten CD's. Die neue CD ist somit etwas für die langjährigen Fans der Band, wie auch für neue Interessierte ihrer Musik.
Bei der mir vorliegenden Version handelt es sich um die "Special Edition", bestehend aus der auch einzeln erhältlichen CD sowie der Bonus-DVD, die die gleichen Titel der CD enthält, allerdings andere Audio-Formate aufweist.
Die DVD-Abmischung verfügt über die folgenden Audioformate:
- 5.1 Dolby Digital (AC3)
- 5.1 dts
- PCM-Stereo
- DVD-Audio (Nutzung nur mittels DVD-Audio-Player möglich)
Besonderheiten der einzelnen Titel zu den Ursprungsversionen:
1. Because: Hier gibt es die A-Capella-Version des Stückes zu hören.
2. Get Back: Einleitung des Titels über "Carry That Weight"-Gitarren- und -Schlagzeug-Solo.
3. Glass Onion: Etwas mehr Betonung auf dem Schlagzeug.
4. Eleonor Rigby/Julia: Eleonore Rigby bekam eine etwas verlängerte instrumentale Einleitung und klingt mit der Melodie von "Julia" vom "White Album" aus.
5. I Am The Walrus: Leicht andere Betonung der Instrumente, ansonsten das alte Stück.
6. I Want To Hold Your Hand: Hier wurde die Ur-Fassung mit einer Konzert- Kulisse (kreischende Fans, wie 1964 bei den Beatles üblich) unterlegt.
7. Drive My Car/The Word/ What You're Doing: Hauptakt ist das erste Lied. Einzelne Elemente der beiden anderen Stücke klingen am Schluss an.
8. Gnik Nus: Ja, was ist denn das? Einfach anderes herum lesen oder hören und schon weiß man es. Der Song wird auch auf CD/DVD rückwärts gespielt!
9. Something/Blue Jay Way: Eigentlich des Ursprungsstück von George Harrison mit Blue Jay Way im Ausklang.
10. Being ... Mr.Kite/I Want You/Helter Skelter: Das erste genannte Stück ist auch hier der Hauptakt. Am Schluss gibt es Passagen der beiden anderen Lieder zu hören ("Helter Skelter" nur sehr leise).
11. Help!: In etwa das bekannte Beatles-Lied.
12. Blackbird/Yesterday: Einleitung über Gitarren-Riff Blackbird mit Überleitung zu Yesterday.
13. Strawberry Fields Forever: Etwas mehr Gesang-Spur mit zurückgenommener Instrumentierung. Im Abspann gibt es dann einige andere Beatles-Songs zu hören.
14. Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows: Hier wurde der Gesang von George aus Within You Without You auf die Melodie bzw. den Takt von Tomorrow Never Knows gelegt. Sehr gelungen.
15. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds: In etwa das bekannte Stück in bester Klangqualität.
16. Octopus's Garden: Abmischung mit "Good Night" vom "White Album" wirklich sehr gelungen. Hätte am Ende des Albums noch besser gepasst.
17. Lady Madonna: Wenig Änderungen zum Ursprungs-Titel.
18. Here Comes The Sun/The Inner Light: Schöne Einleitungspassage zum eigentlichen Hauptlied mit Ausklang "The Inner Light".
19. Come Together/Dear Prudence/Cry Baby Cry: Hier handelt es sich fast ausschließlich um den Titel "Come Together" von John Lennon. Die beiden anderen Stücke werden nur kurz eingeblendet.
20. Revolution: Wenig Änderungen zum Original, aber in einer technisch toll remasterten Fassung, als wenn John Lennon erst gestern im Studio gewesen wäre.
21. Back In The U.S.S.R.: Einleitung über "Revolution" zum bekannten Song aus dem "White Album".
22. While My Guitar Gently Weeps: Bei diesem Harrison-Stück wurde auf sparsame Instrumentierung Wert gelegt, so dass es jetzt ein Gesangstück für Gitarre und Streicher (die wurden für "LOVE" neu aufgenommen) geworden ist. Mal etwas anderes.
23. Day In The Life: Fließende Titelübergänge mit den Nachbarstücken. Ansonsten fast das "alte" Lied.
24. Hey Jude: Etwa gleich geblieben. Technisch allerdings, wie alle Songs der CD, deutlich besser als der Ur-Titel.
25. Sgt. Peppers ... (Reprise): Wird aus Hey Jude übergeleitet. Ansonsten etwa gleich zum Original.
26. All You Need Is Love: Wie das Original mit etwas längerer Ausblendung.
Meine Bewertung:
Songauswahl: 5 Sterne
Klangqualität: 5 Sterne (gerade im 5.1-Surroundsound)
Neue Abmischung: 5 Sterne
Die Doppel-CD/DVD lohnt für alle Nutzer von 5.1-Hifi-Systemen. Ansonsten tut\'s auch die einfache CD für weniger Geld.
Nach dieser CD bleibt für alle Beatles-Fans allerdings weiterhin der Wunsch nach einem schon längst überfälligen Remastering der Original-Platten von "Please Please Me" bis "Let It Be".
