a very obscure band that is not in the archives is B for Bang, a side project of classical pianist Katia Labeque, one half of a famous classical piano duo (the other half is her sister Marielle).

Katia often makes excursions into other territory, mostly jazz-rock; she has played with John McLaughlin (the two actually were a couple for some time), Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.

B for Bang is of a different nature though. the band made two albums, "Across the Universe of Languages" in 2007 and "Rewires the Beatles" in 2011. as the album titles suggest the band likes to toy with Beatles tracks. however, this is not just some Beatles tribute band; the songs are totally deconstructed and rebuilt in new fashion, and on the first album half of the tracks are own compositions.

and now, without further ado, here are the two albums with track lists:



01) Ouverture 0:29
02) Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite 3:06
03) Interlude 1 1:00
04) Helter Skelter 3:41
05) Golden Slumbers 3:12
06) I Want You (feat. Katell Keineg) 3:59
07) Reminiscence 2:51
08) Happiness Is a Warm Gun (feat. Nadeah) 4:02
09) Julia 4:09
10) Interlude 2 0:23
11) Between Those Rocks 3:29
12) Interlude 3 0:19
13) Blackbird 4:20
14) Come Together 2:47
15) Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (feat. Meg) 2:39
16) Notes to the Future (feat. Patti Smith) 2:39
17) The Last Man On Earth 6:52
18) One More Song (feat. Daniel Day Lewis) 4:21

this band's pretty cool :)

I am amazed noone has mentioned Oresund Space Collective. I havw a couple of their albums on vinyl and very impressive they are. Elements of Pink Floyd, a bit more trance though.
