Late Orchestration

Hip hop super hero Kanye West has a new release coming out soon not available state side, Late Orchestration: Live at Abbey Road Studios. I was looking for some new interpretations of Kanye classics but alas its pretty much a recreation the album tracks in a live atmosphere. My favorite Kanye West track Gone sounds pretty much the same other than a slight murmur of a fans in the beginning, Kanye West rambling a little in the middle of the track and almost 2 minutes were cut. On other tracks the orchestra adds a little more than was there so their presence is felt. This album is by far not essential, perhaps just for the Kanye West superfans.
