A Perfect Circle's "Imagine" turned up on eMOTIVe in 2004, and it takes John Lennon's 1971 vision of a world without borders, possessions or religion and walks it into a much darker room. Maynard James Keenan did the arranging, and he sings it and plays piano too, with Paz Lenchantin on piano and strings, Billy Howerdel on guitar, bass and extra vocals, and Josh Freese on drums. Danny Lohner co-produced and Andy Wallace mixed.
Lennon's peace hymn, with Yoko Ono now credited alongside him for the words, usually arrives as a gentle sing-along. Here it plays more like a lament for a world that never took the hint.
