I do like some Beatles tracks but this album just does not do it for me. Still I have to admit it's a whole lot more creative than 90% of what's out there at the moment. I'm waiting for the next Jean Michel Jarre/Pink Floyd/Jethro Tull/Yes/ELP/Kansas/Vangelis to arrive but I don't see anyone on the horizon. Maybe I should have my eyes tested......
