The album was a ground-breaking musical achievement and raised the bar for other artists to follow and continues to inspire to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the start of a new decade The Who, and in particular their main song writer Pete Townshend, faced an unenviable dilemma. How do you follow up on an international sensation called Tommy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe response was an ambitious, futuristic but prescient project named Life House.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas contained in Life House predicted a dystopian world which seems all too familiar today. Themes of environmental change, all too powerful corporations and technology, such as the internet, which the public knew nothing of at the time. Here are Pete Townshend’s own words describing Life House…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Who I Life House: By Pete Townshend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WHO LIFE HOUSE\u003cbr\u003eBy Pete Townshend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1971. Life House was a double-barrelled project. One part film script, the other part the plan for a live musical experiment to be carried out at the Young Vic Theatre to be filmed and incorporated into the fictional movie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the success of Tommy, providing The Who with a very powerful and uplifting concert piece as well as a hit album, I tried to create an audacious music project that would replace it musically for stage and album. I hoped too for a movie. I framed Life House as a portentous polemic about the coming of a nation beaten down by climate issues and pollution. In a sci-fi setting an opportunist and autocratic government enforce a national lock-down in which every person is hooked up to an entertainment grid, provided with solace, food, peace, and spiritual succour. The population could enjoy this Grid safe at home, using virtual reality experience suits. Life experience programmes would be provided by a co-opted entertainment industry and piped down tubes and wires to every home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic is discovered to be a very real distraction to the subjugation of the population in suits. Slowly it is removed from the programming. Rebels and renegades who refuse to be compliant ride around in crude converted buses and vans, listening to rock ‘n’ roll. It is the rebels who begin to hear rumours of the “Life House,” a place somewhere in London where live music is being performed, and an outlandish experiment was taking place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne aspect of both the story and the hopeful plan for the Young Vic live music experiment was for me as a composer to act as a computer to create tailor-made compositions for selected audience members who attended a series of workshops at the Young Vic. Two good examples of the kind of music I hoped to compose are the electronic music backing tracks of “Baba O’Riley” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” In the story a new leader (partly based on myself, and partly based on several technical advisors I was working with at the time) put on a series of concerts, where such tailor-made music is created, and eventually would be piped into the government Grid to allow the oppressed population to break free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA side bar of the fiction is that many participants in the government Grid project begin to advance spiritually, partly because of the sheer number of lifetimes they can enjoy squeezed at high-speed into every moment they remain incarcerated. When the Life House experiment does reach its target, and music is secretly piped into every individual’s experience suit, a universal uprising with immense spiritual and congregational impact takes place.

The album was a ground-breaking musical achievement and raised the bar for other artists to follow and continues to inspire to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the start of a new decade The Who, and in particular their main song writer Pete Townshend, faced an unenviable dilemma. How do you follow up on an international sensation called Tommy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe response was an ambitious, futuristic but prescient project named Life House.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas contained in Life House predicted a dystopian world which seems all too familiar today. Themes of environmental change, all too powerful corporations and technology, such as the internet, which the public knew nothing of at the time. Here are Pete Townshend’s own words describing Life House…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Who I Life House: By Pete Townshend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WHO LIFE HOUSE\u003cbr\u003eBy Pete Townshend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1971. Life House was a double-barrelled project. One part film script, the other part the plan for a live musical experiment to be carried out at the Young Vic Theatre to be filmed and incorporated into the fictional movie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the success of Tommy, providing The Who with a very powerful and uplifting concert piece as well as a hit album, I tried to create an audacious music project that would replace it musically for stage and album. I hoped too for a movie. I framed Life House as a portentous polemic about the coming of a nation beaten down by climate issues and pollution. In a sci-fi setting an opportunist and autocratic government enforce a national lock-down in which every person is hooked up to an entertainment grid, provided with solace, food, peace, and spiritual succour. The population could enjoy this Grid safe at home, using virtual reality experience suits. Life experience programmes would be provided by a co-opted entertainment industry and piped down tubes and wires to every home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic is discovered to be a very real distraction to the subjugation of the population in suits. Slowly it is removed from the programming. Rebels and renegades who refuse to be compliant ride around in crude converted buses and vans, listening to rock ‘n’ roll. It is the rebels who begin to hear rumours of the “Life House,” a place somewhere in London where live music is being performed, and an outlandish experiment was taking place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne aspect of both the story and the hopeful plan for the Young Vic live music experiment was for me as a composer to act as a computer to create tailor-made compositions for selected audience members who attended a series of workshops at the Young Vic. Two good examples of the kind of music I hoped to compose are the electronic music backing tracks of “Baba O’Riley” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” In the story a new leader (partly based on myself, and partly based on several technical advisors I was working with at the time) put on a series of concerts, where such tailor-made music is created, and eventually would be piped into the government Grid to allow the oppressed population to break free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA side bar of the fiction is that many participants in the government Grid project begin to advance spiritually, partly because of the sheer number of lifetimes they can enjoy squeezed at high-speed into every moment they remain incarcerated. When the Life House experiment does reach its target, and music is secretly piped into every individual’s experience suit, a universal uprising with immense spiritual and congregational impact takes place. In the Life House itself, down at the Young Vic, the participants all disappear to a higher level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarlier, I used the adjective ‘audacious’ to describe my plans. In fact, the fiction and the experiment were both flawed, and neither were properly realised. But some wonderful music came from the project, and the idea has always held me in thrall, partly because so many of the strands of the fiction seem to be coming true.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Side A\u003cbr\u003e Baba O’Riley\u003cbr\u003e Bargain\u003cbr\u003e Love Ain’t for Keeping\u003cbr\u003e My Wife\u003cbr\u003e The Song Is Over\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Side B\u003cbr\u003e Getting In Tune\u003cbr\u003e Going Mobile\u003cbr\u003e Behind Blue Eyes\u003cbr\u003e Won’t Get Fooled Again\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMR\/Polydor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44761459064988,"sku":"ARHSLP19","price":28.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/ExpandedPackshot__1LPHalf-SpeedMasterIUPC_00602435852201_f2c45353-9d65-4cc4-9313-3c602863ac02.jpg?v=1703147334"},{"product_id":"the-who-my-generation-half-speed-master-1","title":"The Who - My Generation (Half Speed Master)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue No.: ARHSLP015 \/ ARHSLP15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode: 0602435599816\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e06 May\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased in 1965 My Generation was the debut album by The Who.
