Some loyal fans understandably wince at the posthumous release or completion of an artist's work, be it in the world of film, literature, or, of course, music. Still, others long to experience these lost or unfinished creations. For anyone interested in those of George Harrison, you're in luck. Jeff Lynne, known for his work in Electric Light Orchestra, and alongside Harrison in the Traveling Wilburys, will put the finishing touches on some of Harrison's buried solo gems for a new album.
Lynne is also responsible for reworking Beatles material, having produced the song "Free As A Bird," released in 1995.

"happily brainwashed by great harrisong music"
George, I hope you're using your karmic powers from above to prevent Jeff from using that same drum sound again!
Fans, give a listen to the drums on Harrison's “Cloud Nine”, Beatles' "Free as a Bird", late ELO albums, Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever" and "Into the Great Wide Open", and other Lynne-produced projects ... seems like the same 80's drum mix formula each time. Particularly out of place when added to an old unearthed Lennon recording.
Jeff, how about a little creative variety as befits each song's unique aspects?
Thanks, a fan.
Jeff Lynne is an unappreciated genius. What some not listening carefully enough, songs with similar tempos/beats can seem like the same "80's drum mix" (whatever that is) sometimes, but the 5 part harmonies and orchestra arrangements that man has dreamt up in his time are incomparable. I am very excited to see what he will do with these recordings, after only recently listening to his production of Regina Spektor's new album "Far."
PS-Quotations go after commas
I hope Jeff Lynne uses whatever drum mix that he wants on it..because he is the producer! :) I have a soft spot for Lynne-produced music (including his own) and love his rhythm track compression. (gives it that characteristic sound) I like it when producers trademark an album a little bit..(at least when they are producers that do what they do for a reason)
Maybe we've been brainwashed too!
