Let It Be (Laibach Album)
''Let It Be'' is a cover album by the Slovenian avant-garde group Laibach. It was released in 1988 and is a cover of the Beatles' 1970 album '' Let It Be''. It was recorded in Laibach style with military rhythms and choirs, although a few tracks deviate from this formula, most notably " Across the Universe" featuring Anja Rupel of Videosex. The title track is omitted and "Maggie Mae" is replaced by the German folk song " Auf der Lüneburger Heide" in combination with " Was gleicht wohl auf Erden". "For You Blue" begins with Moondog's "Crescent Moon March", which is subsequently used as a counter-melody.

Laibach (band)
Laibach () is a Slovenian avant-garde music group associated with the industrial music, industrial, Martial industrial, martial, and Neoclassical dark wave, neo-classical genres. Formed in the mining town of Trbovlje (at the time in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia) in 1980, Laibach represents the musical wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) collective, a group which Laibach helped found in 1984. "Laibach" is the German historical name for the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, itself an oblique reference to the Slovene Lands in World War II, Nazi occupation of Slovenia in World War II. From the early days, the band was subject to controversies and bans due to their elaborate use of iconography with ambiguously repugnant parodies and pastiches of elements from totalitarianism, nationalism and militarism, a concept they have preserved throughout their career. Censored and banned in Socialist Yugoslavia and receiving a kind of dissident status, the band embarked ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moondog
Louis Thomas Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999), known professionally as Moondog, was an American composer, musician, performer, music theoretician, poet and inventor of musical instruments. Largely self-taught as a composer, his prolific work widely drew inspiration from jazz, classical, Native American music which he had become familiar with as a child, and Latin American music. His strongly rhythmic, contrapuntal pieces and arrangements later influenced composers of minimal music, in particular American composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Due to an accident, Moondog was blind from the age of 16. He lived in New York City from the late 1940s until 1972, during which time he was often found on Sixth Avenue, between 52nd and 55th Streets, busking, selling records and performing poetry. Regularly appearing in a cloak and a horned helmet, he was recognized as "the Viking of Sixth Avenue" by thousands of passersby and residents who were not aware of his musical ...

I've Got A Feeling
"I've Got a Feeling" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album '' Let It Be''. It was recorded on 30 January 1969 during the Beatles' rooftop concert. It is a combination of two unfinished songs: Paul McCartney's "I've Got a Feeling" and John Lennon's "Everybody Had a Hard Year". The song features Billy Preston on electric piano.

Naked'' includes a version of the song that is a composite edit of the rooftop concert take used on ''Let It Be'' and a second attempt at the song from the same concert. With Lennon's vocals isolated out during the production of Peter Jackson's '' Get Back'' documentary, McCartney performed the song live as a virtual duet on his 2022 Got Back tour. Composition Lennon's song was a litany where every line started with the word "everybody". The song had been recorded twice befor ...

Richard Starkey
Sir Richard Starkey (born 7 July 1940), known professionally as Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor who achieved international fame as the drummer for the Beatles.

Dig It (The Beatles Song)
"Dig It" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album '' Let It Be''. The song is credited to Lennon/ McCartney/Harrison/ Starkey, and is one of the few songs to be credited to all of the Beatles. This song and the 39-second " Maggie Mae" appear on the ''Let It Be'' album, but are excluded from the '' Let It Be... Naked'' album, instead being replaced with " Don't Let Me Down". Glyn Johns' May 1969 version of the album, then titled ''Get Back'', had a four-minute excerpt of "Dig It", which was later reduced to the much shorter version in the final album. Recording Several versions were recorded during the ''Get Back''/''Let It Be'' sessions, on 24, 26, 27, 28, and 29 January 1969, at Apple Studio. The 51-second version on the album is an extract taken from the 26 January version, which was a 15-minute jam that evolved from a loose "Like a Rolling Stone" jam. A segment of the jam session, 4 minutes and 30 seconds in length, appears in the documentary film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
George Harrison
George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. Sometimes called "the quiet Beatle", Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in the Beatles' work. Although the majority of the band's songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, most Beatles albums from 1965 onwards contained at least two Harrison compositions. His songs for the group include " Taxman", " Within You Without You", " While My Guitar Gently Weeps", " Here Comes the Sun" and " Something". Harrison's earliest musical influences included George Formby and Django Reinhardt; Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry were subsequent influences. By 1965, he had begun to lead the Beatles into folk rock through his interest in Bob Dylan and the Byrds, and towa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
I Me Mine
"I Me Mine" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album '' Let It Be''. Written by George Harrison, it was the last new track recorded by the band before their break-up in April 1970. The song originated from their January 1969 rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios when they were considering making a return to live performance. Written at a time of acrimony within the group, the lyrics lament humankind's propensity for self-centredness and serve as a comment on the discord that led to Harrison temporarily leaving the Beatles. The musical arrangement alternates between waltz-time verses and choruses played in the hard rock style. The song reflects Harrison's absorption in Hindu texts such as the '' Bhagavad Gita'' and their denouncement of ego in favour of universal consciousness. When Harrison presented "I Me Mine" at Twickenham, John Lennon showed little interest and instead waltzed with Yoko Ono while the other Beatles rehearsed the song. Footage of ...

Dig A Pony
"Dig a Pony" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album ''Let It Be''. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The band recorded the song on 30 January 1969, during their rooftop concert at the Apple Corps building on Savile Row in central London. Composition "Dig a Pony" is in the key of A major and partly in 3/4 time. It was originally called "All I Want Is You". John Lennon said the song was "a piece of garbage", though he expressed similar scorn for many of his songs. It was written for his soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono, and features a multitude of strange, seemingly nonsensical phrases strung together in what Lennon referred to as a Bob Dylan style of lyric. In author Ian MacDonald's description, the lyrics "celebrat countercultural claims that society's old values and taboos were dead, that life was a game and art a free-for-all, and (especially) that words meant whatever the hell one wished them to". "Dig a Pony" was among ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Two Of Us (The Beatles Song)
"Two of Us" is a 1969 song written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song was recorded by the Beatles on 31 January 1969. "Two of Us" was originally released as the opening track on '' Let It Be'' (1970) and a remix of that recording was later included on '' Let It Be... Naked'' (2003). An outtake of the song, recorded on 24 January 1969, was released on '' Anthology 3'' (1996). The song's title was used for the 2000 TV movie '' Two of Us'', which depicts a fictionalized version of a 1976 reunion between McCartney and Lennon. History The song was originally titled "On Our Way Home". Ian MacDonald claimed the lyrics (e.g.: "you and I have memories/longer than the road that stretches out ahead" or "you and me chasing paper/getting nowhere") sounded like McCartney was probably addressing Lennon and contractual troubles. "You Never Give Me Your Money", a different composition by McCartney from the previously released album, but recorded aft ...

Get Back
"Get Back" is a song recorded by the British rock band the Beatles and Billy Preston, and written by Paul McCartney though credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership.

Deep Purple
Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock music, but their musical style has changed over the course of its existence. Originally formed as a psychedelic and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album '' Deep Purple in Rock''. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies". They were listed in the 1975 ''Guinness Book of World Records'' as " the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million records worldwide. Deep Purple have had several line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–1984). The first four line-ups, which constituted the band's original 1968–1976 run, are officially indicated as Mark I (1968–1969), Mark II (1969–1973), Mark III (1973–1 ...
