The Beatles: The Experimental Music Tag

[@martinbench3657]

Sometimes music should challenge your comfort zones , even with The Beatles

[@MathTravels]

This is superb- I love the structure and it is one of the most original Beatles videos on KZbin!

[@cindyurban150]

Thanks Mazzy, Such a fun video, and well thought out. I was thinking of "Strawberry Fields" as one of their great experimental songs. Cindy

[@annael87]

I am newer to your channel but have been going back watching your videos- your passion and knowledge of music always amazes and inspires me. I am learning so much and loving the content. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@Chicago_Podcast_Authority]

Thank you for shouting out "Blue Jay Way". It's my favorite Beatles song💙 can you give more details on your pressing of Magical Mystery Tour?

[@EmbryonicRobot]

It feels like I walked into A Scanner Darkly scene. Very experimental. The first time I heard Wonderwall, I was mystified, but it has grown on me.

[@twostikks1]

As I’m watching this, I’m waiting to hear Scottie say, “Captain, the transporter beam is failing, I’m afraid we’re going to lose Mazzy…” Seriously, though, it’s great how you mess about with your videos, and of course, the content is always great. Light and entertaining while still informative. Some of the best VC videos out there! And yes, I’m pretty sure Emerick DID use Leslie speakers on Lennon’s voice on “Tomorrow Never Knows” (I believe Geoff said so in his book). As always, thanks Mazzy!

I always liked Revolution 9. It has a spooky quality to it that intrigued me as a kid of 13. As I grew older, I began to investigate other artists like the Godz on ESP Disk, and Pere Ubu's New Picnic Time. So yeah, the Beatles turned me on to Avant Garde and opened my mind to other forms of music. Didn't the Beatles do a sound collage titled Carnival of Light? Thanks for a great video

[@nearwildheaven4840]

Sorry this is here twice, I must have hit the reply button too hard

[@spudwas]

I have wonderful memories of "No Time in Space" (by George) being played in the middle of the night (back in the Summer of 1969) on FM underground station KZAP is Sacramento.

[@muddymike10]

Enjoying the hyper - saturated visual effects...

[@Warp75]

Wonderwall is great & Electronic Music is definitely worth a listen.

[@indigohammer5732]

Wonderwall Music (SAPCOR1) was the first LP on Apple, and the first deleted.

[@Labor_Jones]

[@tyesmith9661]

Anybody besides me feel slightly stoned after watching Mazzy filtered for 25 minutes and talking about experimental recordings?

[@edwardrussell5989]

Brilliant video Mazzy. So informative. Only one small point Gibraltar isn’t an island lol

[@2trainsrunning]

Thanks again Mazzy - dig the filter. Thought you shortchanged Paul on his aural contributions, and George eventually took a swipe at Experimentals with his 'avant garde a clue' comment but hey, it's always a fun polemic. My version of a single White album would include #9.

[@roygoad2870]

Has anyone apart from the Beatles and associates, heard Carnival of Light? Paul has never given permission to release it as he thinks it’s not worthy of public consumption! You didn’t mention Across The Universe, it was first released on the charity LP No One’s Gonna Change Our World, for the World Wildlife Fund, in fact Spike Milligan on hearing it when he dropped into the studio in February 1968 suggested it should feature on that album, way before it was on the Let it Be album. To me one of the Beatles best songs! I would regard the song experimental at the time, also The Inner Light recorded around the same time! During this period they were pushing the boundaries of pop music to the next level imo!

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah so many other groundbreaking experiments in recorded music from them .

[@subg8858]

I’m a big fan of the Lennon tracks on Some Time In NY, as well as Yoko’s Born in a Prison. Sunday Bloody Sunday and John Sinclair easily amongst his best tracks. I don’t care what the critics say. Live tracks on second disc are quite enjoyable as well

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Kosh is a great designer. I think may have been award three Grammy awards for package design for Linda Ronstadt. Loved his design for her album cover. As usual a stellar video my friend.

[@Dude_cant_think_of_a_comment]

Hoping you follow this up with an all Residents Experimental Tag

[@rocky-o]

interesting retrospective....shame that those spoken word records weren't released on zapple.....loh well....peace always my friend...rocky

[@spudwas]

Gosh also...........that Terry Reilly Moog album (a rainbow in curved air) Fantastic album!

[@TheProgCorner]

Music should ALWAYS challenge your brain. Otherwise it’s Muzak!!! Another great episode, sir!!!

[@ST-xg3gy]

I didn't care for any of that Lennon/Zappa sqounk. Hendrix did the comb over paper kazoo trick on "Crosstown Traffic" as well.

[@ergloo6660]

The island of Gibraltar??? well that's a first 🤣😂🤣😂 but, seriously thank you an interesting take and perspective

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah a slip up 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@VinylRundown]

Very cool - what about Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Sound Collage LP from 2000? Don’t tell me you don’t have it?

[@derekroberts6654]

if the only reason to like “Sometime In New York City” is because Nixon hated it, wouldn’t that be enough?😆 other topic, when you mentioned the Indian Music influence on the Beatles, i think i’m the only one who notices that back in the 50s Buddy Holly himself had a love song that was VERY Indian style. “Listen To Me” is VERY Indian to me. even Buddy was experimenting in the 50s but in a way where listeners back then didn’t realize it. Buddy was playing Indian music with American guitars and instruments. if ANYONE noticed that it was a young George Harrison.

[@davidbagnall335]

Great Video! Gibraltar is famous for UK Policemen, The Monkeys, The Rock, John and Yoko getting married and....... for not being a Island...

[@dbugatto]

This vid has a Richard Linklater - Scanner Darkly vibe ;)

[@TRamone01]

Without acquired taste we wouldn't expand our musical horizons at all. Would be very uninteresting. Will have to check out Wonder Wall. Thanks.

[@michaelpdawson]

Trippy!

[@gouvyrock]

the george harrison electronic album is 100% pure crap

[@ronzakar8597]

Thanks for correcting Moog is actually pronounced Moog. A lot of folks still pronounce it as Moog. Sheesh!

[@mazzysmusic]

You mean pronounced as Moag Rhymes with Pouge. Like the Pouges 😎

[@jonlevinson3000]

25 min. of the video effect is 20 min too many. It detracts from the content. Otherwise good video - nice compliment to the preceding Experimental clip.

[@kingofallmediums2123]

Mazzy Wonderwall better than Cloud 9? c’mon man!!

[@oddmagnestandnes4462]

Viva Avantgarde

[@guidoroemer81]

Please don't use that video effect anymore.

[@douglasbaird6552]

The problem with solo Beatles is they didn't have other Beatles to tell them when they were being self indulgent. They were far better as a team than they were as individuals. They became so famous it was impossible for them to lead anything close to a real life and this must have had a serious effect on their songwriting. Lou Reed as a solo artist released a string of great albums throughout the 70s. Why not these guys? If only they had been able as a team every 3 years or so. A team of three equals, not Lennon and McCartney with the snotty attitude towards George.
