"AIl Things Must Pass might be better, but those songs [on Living In The Material World) are incredible... You can hear from the LP what his aim was; he definitely had a message he wanted to get across." - Klaus Voormann, 2003.
It's ironic that Oasis named their critically panned third album after the stand-out track on Living In The Material World, Be Here Now. The original is beautiful, understated and unabashedly spiritual - a stark contrast to its bloated counterpart. Harrison's soulful vocal is set against mournful, blissed-out Indian instrumentation and acoustic guitar, radiating a calm, beatific beauty that characterises so many of his later contributions to The Beatles. It's easy to see why the Gallagher brothers might want to claim kinship.
