Top Notch Musicians.......2007-04-10

If your looking for a album full of Beatles music from George Harrison then this is NOT the album you want, but, if your looking for top notch Indian music from a soundtrack of a film most people have never seen, then you came to the right record. The album shows off the music of India really which is amazing in many ways. So if your into music from India as well as a Beatle thrown in, this is the ticket. Search "Judemac Forever" on msn.

My Initiation Into World Music.......2007-02-09

I got a little taste of what music from India might sound like with the inclusion of "Within You Without You" on "Sgt. Pepper's". I got an even better impression of it from this incredibly diverse and unique soundtrack from Mr. Harrison. There's some pop-py material, some old-fashioned dancehall stuff, some western-styled tunes and a lot of Indian music to be discovered on this disc. It's all instrumental and it's very interesting, moving and melodic. I listen to it at least a few times every year since I first bought it on vinyl when I was an impressionable eleven-year old. It has had a huge influence on me as a musician and songwriter all these years. George was light years ahead of his time- "Wonderwall Music" is that amazing. I'm in awe of how fresh this material still sounds. Don't deny yourself this bliss. Check It Out!

George not at his best .......2007-01-18

The only interesting music is (2) of the Indian tracks. The rest is poor movie sound tract filler.

Do I Enjoy This, or . . . . ?.......2006-07-10

I think that this album is growing on me. It has no pop hooks, and tracks like "Crying" seem to go on and on until . . . wow! Maybe that did sound good!

Another reviewer mentioned its similarity to Magical Mystery Tour. Indeed, one only needs to listen to Wonderwall to understand the very monumental influence that George Harrison had on creating the "Beatles Sound." It wasn't all John and Paul. Wonderwall makes you realize that it was durn close to a three-way tie. (And some may argue that Ringo's influence was right up there too, based on his constantly improving solo work).

I think that Beatles fans considering buying this for the first time, should go ahead and do it. I do not think you will be disappointed. Others should be careful. If you are looking for pop, you will not find it here. If you like avant garde, (or better yet, "Avant garde clue") - then you are very likely to love having this in your collection.

shagedelic baby.......2004-01-05

I bought the original vinyl Wonderwall when it was first released on Apple and still have it. A few years later I archived it and bought a German re-release on vinyl, and still have that, too. I confess I haven't got the CD version yet, as I worry that it will be an inferior transfer.

But based on maybe 200 listenings of this album in two of its vinyl versions, I toss out five lovely stars.

The first guitar riff I ever learned on electric guitar was the main Clapton riff on 'Ski-ing'. Thanks Eric, for helping me learn to play ...
