If the concept of "The Beatles, remixed" saddens you, know that original Beatles producer George Martin was at the helm for this project, which serves as the soundtrack to the Vegas-based Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. The 26 mashed-up tracks here were augmented with additional instrumentation and vocals performed by The Beatles themselves, culled from hours of original demo and master tapes, with pieces of 130 songs ultimately represented in some form.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and really appreciate most of their music but how many more variations of the same music can we be expected to buy? It may be time for us to move on.

This is a great Cd...Its fun hearing things that were pushed back a bit in the original mixes and less of the "stacked" sounds that covered up some great things proving that sometimes less is more. Now...to all you purest...This Cd is what it is...a new fresh way to listen to the fab four...You still have the original cds and I'm not in any way implying that this is better....just a new aproach!

Beatlemania reigns in the 21st century. Another generation can ALMOST understand what we did when they first hit the shores.

Contributes nothing to the understanding of what made the Beatles great. Sorry, don't get it.
ronald G. gave it a10:
Great fun figuring out where the various sub-parts come from, and a great variety of Beatle sounds - not necessarily #1 hits. The one Beatle album to take on a desert island.

I love the Beatles, obviously. I believe their tunes are masterpieces, not to be ever tampered with. But, sadly, this album doesn't prove that wrong. When i was listening to 'Here comes the sun', the Indian drum beat vibe was interesting yes, but the song itself didn't feel the same. Seriously, classics should never EVER be remixed

A truly outstanding and original twist on the Beatles music.It's just as fun to try to identify all the little sound effects in each song as it is to just enjoy the music.
