This app is meant to recreate the experience of becoming immersed in a record album. It does so in a way that I never could have imagined. The creativity and thought that went into this is incredible and this app is hugely entertaining not only for the music and stories but for the way in which you become part of the story. As youre listening to John talk about sailing to Bermuda, you get to tilt your phone and watch the boat sail across the ocean. When it gets to the part about how they used the stars for guidance, the sky changes to night and you have a first person view from the front of the boat where you can look around and look up at the stars. That chapter ends and now youre at a Disco 40 in Hamilton, Bermuda listening to John talk about discovering The B-52s. This time, instead of tilting your phone, you scroll from left to right at the speed of your choice to tour the disco and continue the story. There are other chapters and ways in which this app uses the iPhone capabilities which are just incredible (even the recording feature is used in one chapter to make something interesting happen). The content is new, exciting, and presented in such an entertaining way that I must say this is the most amazing app I have ever seen. I feel like Ive been to Bermuda and was a part of that voyage more so than ever before and I have a greater appreciation for these songs.
