About this album
Marty Gold turns Beatles favourites into bright Moog instrumentals, turning a pop phenomenon into a late-1960s space-age novelty. Moog Plays The Beatles arrived in 1969, when the synthesiser was still a striking new studio colour, and its charm lies in the way familiar melodies are reframed through electronic textures rather than buried beneath them. Numbers such as Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday, Hey Jude and Penny Lane gain a cool, futuristic edge while still keeping their melodic hooks intact. It is a curious but enjoyable snapshot of the era’s fascination with new technology, and a reminder of how quickly the Beatles songbook became modern pop standard material.
