Free Music Notes for Liverpool Sound Collage
Free Music Review: GRAMMY NOMINATED "ALTERNATIVE" CD BY SIR PAUL
Hit: 5 Stars
Liverpool Sound Collage is just what the title sounds like. It is not a "proper" studio album, but more like Paul McCartney's "Fireman" projects from the 90's. Artist Peter Blake (Sgt. Pepper cover) asked Paul to come up with a "sound collage of Liverpool" for an exhibition he was giving. So, Paul and some friends went in the studio and created some new sounds as well as "Free Now" (which ends the CD)which is the closest thing on the album to a song. They also dug in the archives for various "Beatles Recording Studio" chatter which is spread and repeated throughout! Anyone thinking this is a studio followup to the great "Flaming Pie" album will be disappointed.For the millions of fans buying "Beatles 1", you are better off starting out with Paul's solo CD highlights like "Band on the Run", "Tug of War", or "Flaming Pie" and you won't be disappointed. Sir Paul even said this is not for everyone. However, the Grammy voting board thought so much of this album, that it is nominated for "Alternative Album of the Year" (what other "classic rocker can claim that")alongside the likes of Fiona Apple and The Cure. Good for you Sir Paul for pushing the envelope again!
Liverpool Sound Collage Poster
Are you ready for what Paul McCartney himself terms "A new little piece of Beatles"?! This new release contains one track, Free Now , that incorporates elements of previously unheard recordings between 1965 and 1969 by the Beatles into, well, a "Liverpool Sound Collage"! Also here are four other tracks: Plastic Beetle; Peter Blake 2000; Made Up , and Real Gone Dub Made in Manifest in the Vortex of Eternal Now . A bit of Beatle-esque whimsy from Sir Paul!Paul McCartney's music has long been tainted by fallacious revisionism. Supposedly the Beatles' safe sentimentalist soft-pop underbelly, he's usually been portrayed as the antiseptic flip-side to John Lennon's avant-garde bad boy. It's good to remember that Paul penned "Helter Skelter," John "Julia," and that it was McCartney who was exploring the London avant-garde scene (and composing a "Revolution 9"-like sound collage for a theater project in '67) long before Lennon had even heard of Yoko Ono. Long dormant, that sensibility resurfaced in the '90s as McCartney's ambient alter-ego, the Fireman, and again in this soundtrack to artist/Sgt. Pepper cover designer Peter Blake's On Collage exhibition at Liverpool's Tate Gallery. Utilizing a theme of local Liverpool voices, Paul mixes the familiar (snatches of Beatles' spoken-word and musical outtakes) with the obscure (including field recordings of Liverpool art students and his favorite local chips lady), adds a dash of Liverpool Oratorio and some recent Cavern Club sound checks, and (with the help of Super Furry Animals keyboardist Cian Ciaran and producer/Fireman collaborator Youth) concocts five leisurely, dense aural landscapes. Though hardly the usual fodder of pop criticism, the tracks here often rise above good-natured studio wankery, especially the spare dub mix "Free Now." It's also a track that underscores the ghetto mentality of much modern pop. Once upon a time, McCartney and others felt free to infuse the mainstream with their experimentalism rather than constrain it to side projects. Whatever, this is hardly "safe" stuff. --Jerry McCulley
