Title: Heroes & Villains cover (45 style)
Post by: egon spengler on August 07, 2011, 01:01:20 AM
So since it's taking me forever to finish my full-album SMiLE cover, I figured I'd throw a mono, 45-style version of Heroes & Villains up in the mean time:

Enjoy!

Impressive. Just out of curiosity - is the backing track your own recording?

Awesome job on both the vocals and the track - I almost prefer it to the original Beach Boys version, if only because the production values and mastering are so much better.

Yep, I've been recording a cover of SMiLE from scratch for the last year or so, and am getting close to wrapping it up now.  It's been quite the musical education, to be sure!

Awesome job on both the vocals and the track - I almost prefer it to the original Beach Boys version, if only because the production values and mastering are so much better.

Thanks, Chris! have you been working on anything new lately?

Wish I could say yes, but things have been quite busy, it's a feat just to get some piano time in each day lately - hopefully soon though!
