- "After this [song], the gates were open in terms of the possibilities for music of all kinds; and I think the ripples from this actually went out to almost any other form of music as well."
British musician Peter Hammill (of Van der Graaf Generator) talks about The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" as one of his three most favorite pieces of music.
For more "pieces" from various musicians go to threepieces.org
I always feel smarter when Hammill is in the room.
I'd love a Peter Hammill podcast
100% Peter
... I love that "Are you with us or are you not with us?". It's kind of the same thing with the music of VdGG. Count me in!
No te mueras nunca, Peter.
Un día nos dejará el flaco.
Puta que va a ser triste ese día.
Siamo MORTALI e quindi..... Nemmeno LUI può essere un HIGHLANDER!!!!!!! Quel giorno per me e per chi ascolta della BUONA MUSICA sarà TRISTISSIMO!!!!!!! Sempre se NON sarò prima IO a dover dire addio a questo mondo!!!!!!! E quindi AUGURO al GRANDE PETER HAMMILL una LONG ROAD che sia più POSSIBILE LONG per LUI!!!!!!!
In 1966-67 when this album came out this song blew my little 13 yr old mind. I knew it and was totally in. I would sit in my dad's big old Bark - A- Lounger arm chair and listen to Tomorrow Never Knows over and over and pretend to play all the sounds on the arm rest as if they had magical keys and buttons :-)
One of my favorites off the album
+silverskid he is exactly right. he means they were loops of various sounds on individual spools of tape played in real time as opposed to pre-arranged/preprocessed/presequenced which of course was not possible yet. cheers
It was historically (1966) the first use of playing instruments (other than the Hammond organ) thru the Leslie rotating speaker amp with tape loops and backward effects liberally used. Karlheinz Stockhausen made his own "rotating speaker" in the early sixties, predating the Beatles and recording it in quadrophonic sound for live performances! The Beatles (and I'm sure George Martin) were aware of Stockhausen's electronic music according to interviews. His picture was featured on the cover of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Un autentico genio del siglo XX
Please come to Buenos Aires again with VDGG
As always, Hammill's comments are insightful. On the matter of tape loops, however, he happens to be mistaken. The production on this song was carefully planned and included tape loops. Interesting entry on the recording process here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_Never_Knows
By far the best Beatles song...
Mr. Hammill is as ever dead on. I wonder if the Beatles, because they were the Beatles and because everything they did sold lunatic amounts, were allowed to put 'Tomorrow Never Knows' on REVOLVER because the suits figured it wouldn't matter ('It's the last song on the record, nobody will ever notice it's there'). If so, wrong again! This track and others like it assisted in making everything imaginably possible shortly thereafter. Take 'imaginably' how you like. Thanks for posting!
Everybody surrenders to the Beatles
A week has passed. Still no video in sight... ;-)
