redemption

Until then, Let It Be was not held in high esteem: supposedly massacred by Phil Spector arrangements, he delivered, supposedly again, the relentless witness to the agony of a group joyless adrift . Thirty years later, McCartney, who had never been able to digest the spectorienne betrayal, takes things in hand and bands, degreases everything, prunes, remix, re-directs, and gives us his version of things. And now, surprise, the ugly duckling of the beatlesienne discography becomes one of the most beautiful swans. Let me be clear: the purists will be for their expenses, and the changes are absolutely enormous. Titles are seen apart of the program, and the track listing is completely upside. But above all, about the orchestrations, it is that one can speak of revolution. The games we can always multiply to distinguish the differences with the original versions, we quickly lose up: because to say things quickly, far from vain to rehash mercantile purposes, what is meant here is frankly unprecedented. And here is essentially perfectly exciting. For sure, the melodies and the lyrics are the same. But the songs, renewed their original nakedness, not shine in with more intensity. Far from being renewed in the state of pale sketch, some of them even have access to a whole new dimension, much higher, and it is not until that atmosphere so transformed this lustral bath. In short, there are longer recognizes her young, and that's good. So it will certainly not be throwing to the winds the previous version, it especially important to not go his way and despise it.
