On my last drive up to the Michigan Ren I listened to NPR's All Songs Considered podcast which had an interview with the son of legendary Beatles manager George Martin. He and his father had been contacted to do a score for a Cirque du Soleil show called 'Love'.
The project involved remixing a number of classic Beatles tunes and results were so cool I bought the CD on Amazon. (It's not available on iTunes yet) I must admit, I like what they've done. A lot of new and rich textures are brought out. Through subtle changes and segues I heard things I had never heard before. No new shitty vocals by Madonna or that type of nonsense. No new instrumentals or techno backbeatsd. It's all the Beatles. And it's good.

I got the Love CD last year. You are correct, it is a wonderful remix of the Beatles. If you want to borrow it, let me know.

So, I acquired a copy, planning to complain about how horrible remixes always are, and fully expecting to hate it...
I've listened to about half, and it's interesting, possibly even not bad at all.
I highly recommend listening to the podcast, it gives a lot of background info about the project and the beatles.
