John Lennon fans have something new to look forward to with the release of the ‚Meditation Mixes‘ of the title track from his 1973 album, Mind Games. These mixes offer a unique and immersive listening experience, with the song being radically altered, slowed down, and extended across nine different versions. Ranging from 5 to over 23 minutes in length, these mixes aim to provide a relaxing and meditative experience for the listener.
The ‚Meditation Mixes‘ are not your typical remixes but rather a deep dive into the musical landscape of the song. Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed and engineered by Sam Gannon, these mixes offer a fresh perspective on the iconic track. What sets these mixes apart is their focus on different types of brain waves, with four of the tracks presented as ‚Binaural‘ versions that target specific brain patterns such as Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Theta. Named ‚Mind‘, ‚Space‘, ‚Spirit‘, and ‚Love‘, these tracks utilize the binaural effect to create therapeutic effects on the listener.
The limited edition 3LP vinyl package is the only format in which these Meditation Mixes will be available. Pressed on 180g crystal clear vinyl and housed in a triple gatefold mirrorboard sleeve, this release is a collector’s dream. The package is set to be released on 11 October 2024, just two days after what would have been John Lennon’s 84th birthday, adding a special significance to the release.
The tracklisting for the 3LP vinyl includes a variety of mixes, each offering a different perspective on the song. From the ‚MIND‘ mix focusing on Binaural Gamma Waves to the ‚LOVE‘ mix targeting Delta Binaural waves, each track promises a unique and transformative listening experience. The final side of the third LP features a series of short ‚MANTRA‘ tracks, adding an extra layer of depth to the overall experience.
Overall, the ‚Meditation Mixes‘ of John Lennon’s Mind Games offer fans a new way to engage with his music and explore the depths of his creativity. With a focus on relaxation, immersion, and therapeutic effects, these mixes provide a fresh perspective on a classic track. Whether you’re a die-hard Lennon fan or simply looking for a unique listening experience, this limited edition vinyl package is sure to captivate and inspire.
