This is the first of three Beatle CD's to be produced by ThunderStudios (at least so far). This collection contains 10 songs with full (albeit very unusual orchestrations performed on the Yamaha Tyros Workstation. The CD begins with an acoustical and light rendition of Across the Universe and concludes with a totally over-the-top orchestration of Good Night. Overall production is good but some songs loosely follow the actual melody/tempo. Produced: May 2004.  NOTE: This CD originally had this picture on the cover.

The second Beatle-oriented CD produced by ThunderStudios contains 15 more Beatle favorites. Again, the orchestrations are unusual and don't always relate to the original sound and presentation of the music. Let's say, it's unique. This production is far more reaching in its scope and includes both Beatle songs as well as songs composed by John Lennon. All songs were performed on the Yamaha Tyros Workstation.

The third "Beatle CD" produced by ThunderStudios contains 16 more Beatle songs. True to my style, the orchestrations are not what you might expect. This is the best production of the three Beatle CD's and my personal favorite. It contains music by the Beatles as well as songs composed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono individually. All songs were performed on the Yamaha Tyros Workstation. Released January 2005. Click on photos above for larger versions in which song titles are visible. A ThunderStudios Production |

Here is a "easy listening" production of music for serious ceremonies. No unusual orchestrations here. Most selections could be classified as "religious songs," perhaps. Contains one original composition by Allen M. Dion. Full, rich orchestrations and true to the original style versions of classic and contemporary ceremonial music for a range of occasions (not just weddings). These songs were originally recorded on the Yamaha PSR-740 but re-mastered through the Yamaha Tyros Workstation. Released January 2005.

Don't let the title fool you. NONE of these songs were ever intended to be presented as country songs. This is a really fun CD and one of my personal favorites. 13 hits from the sixties are included, all recorded on the Yamaha Tyros Workstation in January 2005. Sound and production very good.

This is by far the silliest ThunderStudios production ever containing 13 songs from television's past. The songs are presented in afairly straightforward manner with a good measure of whimsey thrown into the mix. From Felix the Cat to Star Trek, it's a fun ride through some of TV's past musical offerings. Very good production and presentation.

This CD is a departure from the usual ThunderStudios fare. This is a compilation of Beatle midi files processed through the Yamaha Tyros Workstation. Technically precise, these songs recreate the originals quite faithfully (usually but lack a "human" touch (being digitally manipulated and produced).

I've taken my eight favorite songs from this musical and put them into this small tribute CD.

The Yoko Ono Tribute CD.
