what is this?

I don't have the 5 disc set so I'm not sure what this is or if it's even the beach boys or not or what song is it supposed to be a part of...is it part of H&V?

Pretty sure that was recorded in 1968. It was going by the title "Indian Wisdom" at one point.

How many names does this song have now?

If you slow it down just a tad, and play it backwards, it sounds very similar to the H&V backing track...

wow I'm listenning to it right now through audacity and you're right in places it's very similar to H&V.. actually kind of like it better this way..kind of eerie...

Untitled instrumental from 1968, titles such as 'Indian Wisdom' given by bootleggers, not by anyone who matters. Lumped in with SMiLE material cos it sounds cool and  the people booting just wanted it 'out', I guess.

Cue the debate about what this songs official title is and if it's appropriate for fans to call it by other names. I personally feel like there's really nothing to say about it, it was an unfinished backing track that clearly never developed into anything. Interesting to listen to once in a while, but there's really nothing else to say about it. But I'm sure some people will....

I'm with Fishmonk on this one, file under "must listen to everything the Beach Boys ever commited to tape at least once", then move on.

[Sam_BFC]

I'm quite a fan of this one.

It was being passed off as the "air" section of the elements as well, a few years back now............

Of course I never believed it!
