One thing they talk about in the extras is that they wanted the songs to represent the thoughts of the character(s) singing them, as though they were part of the dialogue. (This may be another difference of the psychedelic sequence, where we get two songs sung as performance, by Dr. Roberts and Mr. Kite.)
They also wanted to completely reimagine the music to give it that freshness you mention. The music producer/arranger talks about dropping famous riffs or figures from the songs to try to make them seem less familiar. (As he says, we all tend to supply the well-known riffs automatically in our heads anyway.)
