Track 15: Christmas Time Is Here Again/Here Comes the Sun

Christmas Time Is Here Again and
Here Comes the Sun - The Inner Light (Transition)
by the Beatles.

"Love," the recently released album of remixed, stripped-down, or tarted-up Beatles songs, is a fascinating listen, whether one loves or loathes it. Some songs sound like half a Beatles song ("Because"); others remind one that a Beatles song often sounds like fifteen simpler pop songs put together ("Lady Madonna"), and still others create an entirely new musical effect out of two core strains of music, while paring back everything else in the song. The above is one of those; it sidesteps any assault on the purity of the originals by stripping out many of the familiar listener's cues for each song and by altering the track speed a bit (slowed down for Here Comes the Sun, speeded up for the Inner Light).
