The Smiley Smile Message Board

Hi-ah folks!

I made this by request a while back, and I kinda rushed through it, and left some glaring errors, because I was more concentrating on my own mix.  But since I was able to finish that one, I thought I'd go back and revise my other mix that followed the BWPS 2004 sequencing as close as possible, without any fly-ins...  

So here it is, the revised version of a completely stereo SMiLE, using strictly the 2004 sequence that you all know and love, and only using The SMiLE Sessions box as sources to retain the best possible soundquality (although I used the 20/20 mixes of Our Prayer and Cabin Essence, the SoT17 of Water Chant and the GV 40th Anniversary remastered single for GV).  All tracks are either crossfaded or hard-edited into three movements, but all 17 tracks are split separately (something I didn't do last time).

Some interesting changes and tid-bits:
* re-edited some things to more closely match the BWPS mix, something which I overlooked last time (Look, Vege-Tables and CiFotM notably).  
* used my newly made/revised stereo mixes of DYLW, Barnyard and Wonderful from last months' Authentic Mix
* revised version of Good Vibrations that removes that phase found just before the second verse
* I did something interesting which I don't know if it's been done yet (probably though, it's kinda obvious) but I used that little CiFotM bridge that wasn't on the TSS mono CD1, and used that to replicate Darian's orchestral linking track.  If you notice, a piece of it is the bass run from the end of the minor-key verse, and they crossfaded nicely.  It's different, but I like it!  Listen to it and let me know if you like it too!  :)

As I had said, there's no fly-ins from BWPS, that's not really my bag.  I know others do it and do a great job of that, so check those out of that's what you are looking for.  BUt if you want a stereo mix without fly-ins, this is it.  :)

Thanks a lot for this new mix!

Oh my. I wasn't expecting this, many thanks.

Thank guys!  :)

Have been enjoying your SMiLE mixes and the evolutionary process - a real ear opener! Will this interesting mix be available in FLAC so we can hear it at its lossless best?
Many thanks again for all your hard work.

Oh, yeah, sure!  I'll try to get em up later today or tomorrow!  Thanks again for listening!  :D

OK, here are the flacs!

Thanks for posting the lossless flacs. I really like your mix, and particularly like the new Child mix. For me, there is also a freshness about both H&V and GV here s both tracks somehow seem to have more energy and pace. It all seems to flow so well - and (a big plus) it's all in stereo!! A success.

It's great to be able to hear this stuff.  Thank you. again.

Hey, thanks a lot!  That means a lot to me.  :)

My mediafire account was killed so I re-upped this in case someone still wants it...

Here you can download the .torrent files for the '67 mix and BWPS. Currently I'm the only seeder, might be a bit slow. Once it downloads, KEEP YOUR CLIENT OPEN! (http://dropcanvas.com/q6kzl)

The more seeders, the faster it will download.

OK Cactus, I also uploaded the torrent to Demonoid.  :)

Cool cool.

I'll start seeding the new ones then :)

Just in case you missed this or my 1967 SMiLE mix, I created a blog called Albums That Never Were, where you can dl it in mp3 and flac.  Find it here:

http://albumsthatneverwere.blogspot.com/2012/06/beach-boys-smile-soniclovenoize-stereo.html

It has some other classic album reconstructions too if you are interested, such as my take on The Beatles' Get Back, Jimi Hendrix's First Rays of The New Rising Sun and Bob Dylan's Big Pink.  I'll have Lifehouse and Songs From The Black Hole up sometime too.
