Free Music Review: If you're wondering which Harrison songs are featured here.
Hit: 4 Stars
A few details aren't described very clearly in the pre-purchase information at Amazon, so I wanted to make them available here. The five George Harrison songs that are featured on this instrumental album include "All Things Must Pass," "Life Itself," "This Is Love," "Give me love," and of course the well-documented "Here Comes The Sun." As those familiar with Steve Wood's masterful projects already know, "Everest" features interpretations and elements of these five Harrison songs, not the unadulterated songs themselves. I hope this helps anyone who might be new to the Steve Wood/Daniel Mays interpretive format. It's worth checking out if you appreciate instrumental records with multi-layered components such as (in this case) a variety of acoustic, stringed instruments and the accentuation of what appear to be genuine Tibetan monk chants. I bought this CD on the strength of Steve Wood's interpretations of Sting as previously manifested on the IMAX soundtracks for "The Living Sea" and "Dolphins." Both of those are undeniably more varied throughout and feature a greater representation of world music, though with a higher concentration on Carribbean themes. "Everest," on the other hand, maintains a strong emphasis--appropriately enough--on the quasi-mystical influences of the far East. If you are a devotee of George Harrison, this is an easy way to get your hands on more of "his" music, including some intelligent variations of his structure.
