Revolver

The Beatles, making the Album Revolver evolutionized how music would be made forever. The Beatles style before Revolver was more of an acoustic folk-rock, such as the album Rubber Soul. Then on their album, Revolver, they switched up their style to more of an electric sound and they had much more variety when it came to styles of songs that where on the album. Although The Beatles agreed not to be on LSD while in the studio, LSD was a major influence on the making of the album. They had full access to Abbey Road Studios and they took full advantage of that and used the studio as an instrument. Spending a lot of time experimenting with new ways of making effects, some never used before. The Beatles really started experimenting in the studio for this album not caring at all if it could be recreated live. They used backwards recording for the first time ever with the backwards guitar for the song “I’m Only Sleeping”. Also they used tape loops through out the album, which had never been done before in rock music. As an industry professional it makes me feel as if being the best at what already exists isn’t going to be good enough for me any more. After finding out about all the experimentation The Beatles did with this album it makes me want to do something extra extraordinary with the music I’m working with to give new techniques to the recording and mixing of music.
