In fact, each track has a retro sound to it. The sound is a little fuzzy, like its being played through an old record player. Caruana has maintained this sound, perhaps to remind us that this music you are listening to is not new in any way, shape or form, yet it is breaking ground. This is a testament to the magnificence of both of these artists, that their music can still have a major impact today.

The Beatles are also introduced in the beginning, using an actual audio track from some archival footage of the band introducing themselves individually to a plethora of screaming fans. This is followed by another audio file explaining the impact that The Beatles had, not only in music, but in culture and in the world.

It is an interesting idea that perhaps what makes this combination such a successful one is not only the music itself, but deeper than that, it is the ideals that each of these musicians stood for. It is clear that both Wu-Tang Clan and The Beatles did things their way, to the beat of their own drum and did it not for the fame and money, but for the passion to create music that was art and meant something to them.

You really cannot even imagine how amazing this album is, it is truly something that you have to hear for yourself. However, here is a taste of what is in store when you do decide to go check it out, from The Beatles end you have samples of "Yesterday," 'You Never Give Me Your Money," "I Feel Fine," "Girl," "Michelle," "Happiness is a Warm Gun," etc.

From the Wu-Tang Clan's side you have lyrics from "Got Your Money," "Criminology," "Uh Huh," "Release Yo Self," "Forget Me Not," "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'," etc.

There are 27 tracks, including the intro and outro. Most of the tracks are an average of about three and a half minutes long with the longest tracks coming in at just under five minutes. And as if just combining these two wasn't enough, Caruano includes in almost every track some sort of audio insert from Beatles history that goes perfectly hand-in-hand with each track.

At this time, the defense rests; let the gavel come down. The verdict is that this album is an instant classic and a must have for any music enthusiast. "Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers" is easily one of the best albums of the year. It will probably be one of the best of this new decade and maybe even further. The best part of it all, it is absolutely free. You can go to www.TeaSeaRecords.net and get it there or you can just Google it and download from whoever else has it available.

Do not miss out on this album because you will be really regret it. Be warned, however, you will be listening to this album over and over again.
