Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: Blood In Blood Out

I just listened to a couple of tunes. I think generally "Wake the World" is a song that could become something of an indie-standard. It fits so well in that category imo. Nice performance with some new elements! And it may sound silly but I really like the cymbal sound on "The easy Way out". It has just the right amount of laid-backness.  Kinda reminds me of some of Tony Joe White's recordings from the 2010s. Thanks!!!!   |

Give this album a chance, this was done with a special touch of love for the music in general and for the cool retro videogame music |

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What actually happened to Dennis' aborted solo album in '72?
|

Cuddle Up, Make It Good and Only With You succeeded the solo album sessions, Lady and Sound of Free preceded them (you could maybe count Sound of Free, but Lady is a Sunflower outtake). The only one of those from the batch is Barbara. An embryonic version of Cuddle Up exists, albeit called Ol' Movie and it isn't exactly the same piece of music.
Material from those sessions (1971, not '72), mostly unfinished:
- Fourth of July
- Barnyard Blues
- Ol' Movie
- Ecology
- Barbara
- Live Again
- Behold the Night
- It's a New Day
- Hawaii Song
- Before
- I've Got a Friend
- Baby Baby
- Sea Cruise
the version of Barnyard Blues is only piano demo recorded in 1971, the actual/final product was recorded in 1974. |

Here's our new single (from our upcoming album Dance of the Dead) Animate. We went for our usual blend of sci-fi horror influenced sounds, but this time our Brian Wilson influence is a bit more readily apparent. Hope you guys enjoy it! http://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/track/animate Cool sound Billy! this track has an amazing chord progression and it kind of reminds me to My Solution, the organ and the synthy sounds are more than cool and the brief sleigh bells add a cool effect to the track, amazing job!!! |

): 
sea cruise doesn't sound like it was recorded by Dennis in 1971. Vocal seemed much too rough for what his voice sounded like at that time on sunflower. Sounds more like 76-77ish.
