The remix engineer known for his work on several Beatles albums is back in the studio, this time focusing on what some consider the band's greatest work: 'Rubber Soul'. Martin, whose father George Martin produced the original recordings, has already remixed landmark albums such as 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', 'Abbey Road', the White Album, 'Let It Be' and 'Revolver'.
Speaking about his approach, Martin said he does not think about the legacy or the album as a whole while working. "I'll listen to something like 'Norwegian Wood' and, to be honest, I'll just be thinking about the sound of that acoustic guitar and the voice," he said. "I think I'm fairly singular-minded and I don't really have the processing ability to go bigger. So I'm not thinking about the legacy. It's just, 'how do I make this sound ...'"
The project marks a return to one of the band's most creatively fertile periods, helmed by the man who has become the steward of their recorded legacy in the digital age.
