Meat DBeatles: Full Review

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ DMusic Records) - Meat Dbeatles is a compilation of Beatles song covers by independent recording artists affiliated with either DMusic.com, an internet music collaboration and social network, or its subsidiary, Lost Gold Records. It started out as a comment on a thread, and we all ran with it. The whole album took 4 months to compile and master.

Most of this music was recorded on "home based" computer based recording systems like Protools, Digital Performer, Logic, Cakewalk, Fruity loops, or Reason, although a few were done at professional recording studios ( like "You Can't Do That" by the Wiseguys, which was recorded at Abbey Road and features John Entwhisle and Zack Starkey on bass and drums, or "Imagine", which was recorded at a Philadelphia project studio BMR, with dubbing by Reggae vocalist Luciano at a New York Studio).
These days, for a few thousand dollars, a musician's home may have the the technical sophistication of a multimillion dollar recording studio of 10 years ago. We were quite impressed with the quality of the tracks submitted on the whole, and remastering made them even better.

Some of the tracks are takes on rather obscure Beatles tunes ("Helter Skelter" by Gene Hilbert, "Tomorrow Never Knows" by Electric Gypsy), for example. Others are updated versions of well known ones, but with funkier and better recorded drums and bass ("Come Together" by Robert Shanney comes to mind) and one is a live track ("Lady Madonna" by the Hegg Brothers). There is Bluegrass version of "I've Just Seen a Face" by Carlette, and a punk "Let it be" by 101 Rocks. Something for everybody, we think.
