Since Smile Sessions Came Out..Do Any Of You Still...

[Newguy562]

do you know where he got these vocals/harmonies that goes oooohhhh ha ha ha haaaaaaa..at  :20 -37 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhYPzl_0dR4

That's one of Brian's vocals extracted from Our Prayer, time and pitch shifted to create a melody. Then I used the same bit to create a harmony.

Nice to see SMiLE A.D. getting some love a few months down the line.

Shoutout to JMZ who did an amazing job pre-TSS and actually already executed some of the ideas I did (such as the Wonderful vocals on Look, stereo Cabinessence, etc). Hadn't heard it until recently, but I really love the vibe of that mix.

i love that harmony so much i just dislike how it sounds like too much going on in "i love to say dada" it sounds too complicated smh...but the mix for look/holidays are perfect!
you do mixes as well?

[seltaeb1012002]

I actually combined elements of different SMiLE AD mixes into one mix. I like certain things from each one. Although I lost all of them in a hard drive wipe, I still have that mix of my favorite stuff you did and it still blows me away. Looking forward to any new mixes of Beach Boys material you do, it's great to have someone with so much talent and love for the music sharing his gift with fellow fans. Rock on!

Damn, sorry to hear about the hard drive wipe! That's gotta be a drag.

Thanks man 

i love that harmony so much   i just hate how he has too much going on in "i love to say dada" it sounds too complicated smh

That bastard!

i'm just used to "i love to say dada" sounding so much cleaner but it would be perfect with that sweet harmony he did

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Listen to smile fan mixes? or any of your own smile mixes? That you prefer more than the smile sessions mix. If so, what songs? because I wasn't too satisfied about Child Is The Father of The Man...
This version of it kicks "Smile Sessions" ass..lol..It seems so forced on TSS for some reason...
Anyways check it out and tell me what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF9PygVYAhc&feature=plcp
what about this humorous version of Vege-Tables? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2cBGIJbnA (the ending is a killer!)

See what you mean about that Vegetables remix - love that fade! That's one of the really beautiful, wonderful things about SMiLE, it's like the gift that keeps on giving! Surely no other album in history has been - and continues to be - subjected to so many different interpretations.

exactly it's like reading a book ..you picture.create everything how you want and it'll be different every time!

have any of you heard this before? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS34TZR3SNY

Yup. Personally, I thought the live version Brian did on that first tour had the most natural progression into the song proper.

Out of the album version and the alternate mix I just posted, which do you prefer?

I actually prefer the album version. I don't like the Desper-style instrumental opening or the interlude. I get it, it's an alternate way of hearing the song, but it robs the song of momentum and doesn't add anything that wasn't already there. It's cool that people do this kind of thing, because it means that BBs music inspires others to explore what can be done with music as well. But this one just doesn't do anything for me, and I actually consider the Surf's Up mix to be un-improvable.

Nicceeeeeeee!!! Keep up the good work I already have two of your mixes(Look & Holidays) on my ipod.. Can you do one more mix of "i love to say dada" just like the tss version(same intro same everything) but with the harmony I said i loved oooohhhh ha ha ha haaaaaaa..at  :20 -37 ? the one thing I wish you changed in your mix was the intro of cool water...if it started like the tss version it would be perfect..(imo even better than the 2004 version)
Also on "Holidays" you should've added the vocal part of the 2004 version that goes

"Abash and forth a starboard course
With north abeam, sherry of course
The men will share some sport and now me hearty
Not the rum of Carib' scum
It's port tonight - drink up and come
Un-weigh the anchor Yank and we will party!"

That would go with the version you did as well plus so far no one has done it yet..It's genius..I think your version of holidays is slower than the 2004 version but you change the speed of it and make it fit in there somehow..

Hey man, Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you found some elements of my SMiLE mixes that you enjoyed. And as much as I love your enthusiasm and cool ideas... I'm actually content with what I did at the time, and as of right now my SMiLE fan mixing days are over. Working on too much other stuff at the moment to make custom mixes for you, sorry.

Not to mention all of the pieces are scattered across various hard drives since I got my new computer, and it would be a complete hassle to locate and/or cut up and edit everything again.

If in the future I get the time and enthusiasm to create a new SMiLE mix, I might use the Holidays lyrics idea, but realistically I wouldn't count on it happening through me, if ever, any time soon.

In the meantime, you should start throwing together your own mix. That's where the fun lies

well out of all the mixes i heard yours had to be the best I've heard yet....Brian Wilson would be proud man!..and I would love to do that but i don't know what program to use or where to get any of the vocals or how to creating harmonies with it like you did :/

[keysarsoze001]

Google is your friend, brother. You can do some pretty robust things with software that's free or minimally expensive. As far as vocals and backing tracks, the stuff's out there. Quite a lot can be done using just what's on TSS.

I'm definitely going to have to do my research now and see what I come across and yes time to hit the lab and experiment lol

The only fan mixes of Smile I ever listened to was Mok's Smile and Purple Chick's Smile and that was only because no 'complete' Beach Boys version existed, since The Smile Sessions came out I really don't see the need or point in Smile fan mixes but each to their own.
