- Mikko asked for more information on WONDERWALL. I posted
- privately in detail for him. For others...
-
- Wonderwall was one of Harrison's earliest solo ventures. It was
- the music score for a film I believe. I never saw the film, or
- I forgot in the psychedlic zeitgeist.
-
- What made me think of it recently and why I wanted it again (my
- original copy was stolen or lost somewhere in Australia), was
- a listen to to Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass's East Meets
- West (or something titled like that). Like this work, Wonderwall
- is very much an experimental hybrid of modern Western and Indian
- music. Whether it succeeds as much as Shankar and Glass I can't
- remember --- I will buy it again though in, what Mikko says, is
- an Apple CD reissue.
-
- Wonderwall IS NOT ROCK. It is not MUZAK either. If you like
- Philip Glass, you might like this.
-
- Cheers
