Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Instigated at the request of artist Peter Blake (sleeve designer of the Sgt Pepper album) for use as a soundtrack to his "About Collage" exhibition at the Tate on Merseyside, Liverpool Sound Collage is an unlikely cut & paste, dub-cum-ambient collaboration between Sir Paul McCartney, studio supremo Youth and Cian Ciaran of the Super Furry Animals. Refreshingly deviant in a manner even Plastic Ono-era Lennon would have approved of, this mad platter of tangled audio spaghetti successfully unravels on the (Mersey) Beta Band/Brothers In Sound-style jumble-sale rock experiment of "Free Now" (apparently crafted from snippets of old Beatles outtakes), while "Made Up" is McCartney's baffling splice and loop montage of Liverpudlian street-banter, traffic-noise, snippets of his own Liverpool Oratorio and genuine archival studio chit-chat from The Fab Four ("Hang on, John's just broken a string"). Liverpool Sound Collage is hit-free and delightfully unhinged. --Kevin Maidment

CD Description
Most think of John Lennon as the most experimental and unpredictable Beatle, but judging from Paul McCartney's millenium release, LIVERPOOL SOUND COLLAGE, Sir Paul has a daring artistic side as well. As the title says, the album is comprised of loops and samples (taken from both Beatles songs and McCartney's solo work) that create a funky musical landscape.While the music is sectioned off into five 'songs,' you should be forewarned that these are not your standard verse-chorus-verse compositions. Still, LIVERPOOL SOUND COLLAGE is anenjoyable and engaging listen, especially on the album opener "Plastic Beetle" and the space age "Real Gone Dub Made inManifest in the Vortex of the Eternal Now". Not as daring as say, Lou Reed's METAL MACHINE MUSIC, but not exactly what you'd expect from Mr. McCartney.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Apple Records division - ZAPPLE was still around, this wo, 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
In the late 60's and early 70's The Beatles record company - Apple Records had a division called Zapple Records. On this label, there were odd releases by the solo Beatles. One was entitled "Electronic Sound" by george Harrison, and the other entitled "Unfinished Musis:Life With The Lions" by John & Yoko. Both these titles were considered Avant Garde type of Art/Music. It was simply samples and sounds. Very much like Liverpool Sound Collage, except for the fact that LSC has a beat.I consider this CD a piece of art the same way Peter Blakes paintings should be viewed. This project would've fit perfect on ZAPPLE. If you listen to "Free Now" a few times, you find yourself singing it out loud with no music on - very infectious. It would be a great remixed single from this CD.LSC is definately worth purchasing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly musical, 15 Sep 2000
By Ole-Magnus Olsen (Halden, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Obviously, some people have been "misled" by the mentions of Paul McCartney and the Beatles in connection with this album, and may have a feeling that they didn't get at all what they expected. However, the title of the album should have been a clue...

I've enjoyed most of what Paul McCartney has put out, in any musical format, and I was prepared for an interesting experience. But I was surprised myself - the album was in fact more musical and "listenable" than I expected. It is indeed a sound collage, but not, in fact, to the degree that "Revolution 9" was.

I think "Liverpool Sound Collage" is a very well put together album. The similarities to the Fireman albums are perhaps not surprising, considering the fact that both McCartney and Youth have been involved in the collage. I don't think it's quite as good as the Fireman's "Rushes," but on the other hand, "Rushes" doesn't have the Beatles on it.

And whether you want to consider "Liverpool Sound Collage" as part of the Beatles legend or not, it's definitely the Beatles as you've never heard them before.

High points: "Plastic Beetle," "Made Up" and "Free Now".

2.0 out of 5 stars Should never have been let out of the exhibition., 9 Oct 2000
By jamiefullerton@hotmail.com (Oxfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
Apparantly released because of popular demand, the Liverpool Sound Collage sounds like one big mistake, that should never have been let out of the Liverpool collage it had been written for. Although the dictophone extracts do create some kind of atmosphere, guest remixers Super Furry Animals and Youth sound as if they were heavil restricted, you won't recognise them at all, which is a real shame, the Furries couls have breathed some psychadelic life into this over-arty and bland noise. Even if you are a massive Furries fan (such as myself), spend the £12 or whatever on the new Grandaddy album. It's arty, yes, it's wierd, yes, but it differs greatly from this noise by being exceptional music with great depth. Hang on a minute, if differs by simply being music.
