Title: Jan & Dean Carnival of Sound: their Smile? Post by: Dove Nested Towers on March 09, 2010, 09:41:34 PM Hi, sorry if this is not a related enough topic for this area, but I was thinking of buying this deluxe new album, finally assembled and seeing official release, and had heard that it was very ambitious a la Smile. Opinions?
Title: Re: Jan & Dean Carnival of Sound: their Smile? Post by: Dove Nested Towers on March 09, 2010, 09:45:51 PM I just saw the thread about this in the general music discussions section. I'll
read that and maybe it will suffice and that is where I should have introduced this topic. Sorry. Title: Re: Jan & Dean Carnival of Sound: their Smile? Post by: smile-holland on March 10, 2010, 02:08:28 AM don't take it too hard mutedtrumpeterswan :)
I'll just move it to the general board, and if you want to I'll merge it with the other topic. Title: Re: Jan & Dean Carnival of Sound: their Smile? Post by: grillo on March 10, 2010, 07:23:08 AM It's not 'their' anything really, but it IS a Jan Berry solo record with very little of his own vocals. Certainly not anywhere near the creativity of SMiLe, though,except for a few annoying sitar parts, it is a pretty typical J&D sounding record, which I think is good. The only SMiLe aspect is the 40 + years it took to be released. I still prefer Dean's solo J&D album a little more just for the moodiness, but Carnival is pretty good, especially if you consider it was recorded a year or so after Jan's debilitating car crash. The new CD sounds great, so if you're a fan of the J&D sound I'd consider ordering a copy today!
