Continuing the Mashup Mood, today we have Hank Handy's Beatles Medley. The track takes segments from over forty separate Beatles songs and splices them together to create three and half minutes of kaleidoscopically splintered pop.
The whole experience feels like a giant Rube Golderberg machine. The disparate elements kick off one another in spiraling series of technicolor clockwork madness. The drum solo from The End cascades into helium speed vocal samples from Love Is All You Need just as Piggies harpischords begin stomping and chiming with Get Back's organs and blues licks. That describes twenty seconds. Nearly.
It picks and plucks song segments like a schizophrenic magpie but builds them all into a towering piece of sonic architecture, shortly before dropping said structure into an industrial strength blender.
