PUBLIC IMAGE LTD. founder and otherwise illustrious bassist-producer JAH WOBBLE (John Wardle) has joined forces with Liverpool ethno-psychedelic duo TIAN QIYI (Charlie and John T Wardle) to unleash a stunning new vision of The Beatles’ ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ – a fearless, boundary-shattering reimagining that transforms this epic song into an intoxicating fusion of psychedelic textures, cinematic atmosphere and Chinese and Mongolian instrumentation. Bold, hypnotic and utterly immersive, the Wardles’ experiment breathes new life into a recording that helped redefine the possibilities of popular music.
This is the first glimpse of ‘Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles’ Psychedelic Psongbook’, arriving August 14th via Cherry Red Records and 30 Hertz. This is a radical reawakening of The Beatles’ psychedelic legacy, with Jah Wobble and Tian Qiyi dismantling and rebuilding these iconic songs through a mesmerizing sound world where East meets West, ancient traditions meet modern experimentation, and Liverpool’s most mystical musical moments are reborn for a new generation. This album promises to be one of the most ambitious, imaginative and unexpected Beatles-inspired releases in years.
A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly.

We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital.
