5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tribute to the Beatles, June 27, 2000

Rick recorded this album in 1996-97, with the help of guitarrist extraordinaire Fraser Thorneycroft. Basically played with Synths and electric guitar, Wakeman made a fine selection of the Beatles' songs to arrange and play beautifully: Norwegian wood, Blackbird, Help, Come together, The fool on the hill,etc. As I said, Fraser is a very complete and soulful guitar player which contributes a whole lot to make this album a must for Beatles and Wakeman fans.

Not being a big fan of The Beatles, but it's a very enjoyable listening experience. There is an abundance of new instruments and more armonies than usual on this work. this is a great CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Insult to the Beatles, August 29, 2005

I never could imagine that someone would make the music of the Beatles sound so cheap and primitive, and then will publish the result as a "tribute". All arrangements are very uninventive and lacking of drive which has been present in abundance on much earlies albums of Rick Wakeman.
