Like most of fans, I tried my hands at SMiLE mixes over the years (and i'll probably continue 'til I old and gray!). This is my most recent update on my mix, made from strictly FLAC sources when possible, edited to mono via Audacity and following the classic "America/Elements-no more than 12 tracks" template. So if you're looking for an far-out, crazy experiment mix, I guess this mix isn't for you. There are plenty of great fan mixes out there (Pocket Symphony, SMiLE AD,etc.) if you seek something like this.
My personal mix is made like any classic 60s albums, with banded tracks. Thematically, it's 2 movements ("Americana, The Past" & "The Present, The Elements and The Future") with one on each sides. It also feature (most prominently in "The Elements") humor skits from "the Psychedelic Sounds" recordings.
Happy listening!
