You can guess what this is. It's a album length mash up of the Wu-Tang Clan and the Beatles. And it's not quite as gimmicky as it sounds. The guy behind it, Tom Caruana, did a bang up job of using samples, rhythms and vocal tracks only where needed. The thing flows seamlessly (well, most of it), good enough that I caught myself wishing that I wasn't familiar with the Beatles's music, just so I could be really objective. The thing I found pretty remarkable is that the Caruana had to have had a good knowledge not only of the of the Beatles' music (including easy listening covers), but Wu-Tang's entire output, both as a group and solo works; because the vocals are cherry picked from their entire discography. That's the kind of musical knowledge that you rarely find outside of serious music journalists. Combine that with the know-how to actually put it together and you'll understand why you ought to at least check it out.
I'm putting this up, just because it came and went so quickly when it was originally on BandCamp, that it was a nice surprise to see a new download link at Covert Curiosity, posted with their year end "Best of" list. I'm not linking to the download link directly, but you can find the link to the entire album download if you scroll down to the 18th album on the list, at this post. For those not ready to commit to a 178mb download without a sample, there's some links to sites with individual mp3s to test the water.
