Circus Canticle
A meeting of psychedelically variegation with music hall um-pa-pa. The middle section is a collage of various circus organ recordings, somewhat Stockhausenesque in its conception, and a precursor to modern sequenced sampled music. The nostalgic lyrics paint a vivid word picture to perfectly compliment the swirly-whirly colours. McCartney's ever creative bass line provides an earthy counterpoint to ground these airy soarings.
They certainly don't make them like this anymore. Or if someone did it would sound too contrived, too polished, not a naturally organic spontaneous happening like this magical music.
