RARE 1969 COLLECTIBLE "BEATLES" SPACE PROG PSYCH ADVENTURE!
George Harrison
Electronic Sounds
USA - Zapple/Apple Records - ST 3358
One of the hardest to find SOLO Beatles albums!
Very scarce and certainly the hardest George solo to find ...a bizarre druggy experiemental concotion by Mr Harrison ...it is the very first pressing original vinyl issue from 1969 -- the former Beatle is at the controls taking you on a mind journey from here to there in passages filled with weaving flashes and solar zones...
When it comes to the so-called 'synthesizer wizards', one would not usually think of Beatle George as being one of them. For a brief time in 1969 however, he was just that. Following a recording session for Apple artist Jackie Lomax, George expressed a high interest in what was then a relavtively new instrument. Immediately following this, he purchased a Moog synthesizer and assembled "Electronic Sound". Shortly afterwards, The Beatles were using the Moog for the sessions which became the "Abbey Road" album.
Released in May 1969 on the Zapple label, "Electronic Sound" vanished upon release. Over 30 years after its original release, it's amazing to see just how far ahead of its time this album really is. "Under The Mersey Wall" is the first of the two tracks which comprise this album. It begins with a series of racecar-like noises and various other sounds. At about the half-way mark, the piece shifts into a surreal meditative mood which floats like a strange unknown planet. "No Time Or Space" is a 25-minute masterwork which goes all over the place. There has been a long-running controversy surrounding this piece and there is no denying that this piece is extraordinary. It begins with what sounds like a plethora of shotgun blasts. This then transforms into a series squaks, squeals and bursts of white noise. After several minutes of this, a giant galeforce wind of white noise comes in which leads into roughly 15-minutes worth of what sounds like aliens taking over a galaxy in a sci-fi cartoon. As the piece draws to its close, the chaotic space sounds turn into random belches, noises and crackles (No kidding). Then it's all over.
Listening tip: Wear headphones or have your speakers on either side of you to get that nice "surround" effect. Many of the sounds jump from side to side and it's much more exciting to listen to this way (as is pretty much anything recorded back when stereo was still a new thing).
