This oddball Philip Glass production, featuring Iggy Pop and hallucinogenic paraphrasing of Maharishi-era Beatles tracks, really is a more jolly and entertaining affair than you might expect from a Charles Manson-themed rock-opera. Some fantastic gems in here, and if you're a Beatles fan prepare to have the top of your skull blown off.

"Not as exploitative as the title might suggest, Moran's fourth opera focuses not on the facts of the infamous cult murders, but a rumination on the media circus surrounding the trial, the reification of Manson in the media and the public, and much more. "Opera" applies in the fact that this is a musical drama with grandiose characters and heightened emotion, but there's little singing; most of the work is spoken or orchestral music – mostly sparse piano, percussion, and burst of noise and media samples. Because Manson in real life was obsessed with the Beatles, especially their White Album, Moran introduces two brilliant interludes where the "Beatles" return as a cross between divine prophets and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The music here is a spine-tingling nightmare concoction of the Fab Four's most psychedelic moments, probably the scariest Beatles pastiche since the Residents' "Beyond the Valley of a Day in the Life." These two tracks do weigh against the rest of the work, but the album is a most frightening composition. Guest vocalists include Iggy Pop as "The Prosecutor" (Vincent Bugliosi) and Terre Roche as Squeaky Fromme." –AllMusic review

"One thing I find interesting about Manson as a character is that the family believed that they were with God then. For them, God wasn't something you heard about on Sunday when you hedged your spiritual bets and went to church. He was right there with them. And they believed that revelations were coming down to them through the Beatles' 'White Album.' It's twisted and negative, but it's also inspiring in a way. People forget that cults are not just fringe groups. America is a cult. All countries use cult techniques. They teach you that anything outside the cult is evil and to be feared, and they constantly inundate us with slogans. We like to think that we're past propaganda, but we are subjected to it all the time, through the media and through our friends. What is commonly called a cult is just smaller."
