Ever given another BB album the SMiLE treatment?

[jakeg1235]

After hearing so many awesome takes on SMiLE in these forums, I've been wondering if anyone has ever done similar things with other BB albums or songs(ie mixing parts and overlaying different songs, creating one continuous piece of music, etc.)? Would love to hear!

One time I inserted an isolated "Truck Drivin' Man" clip into its proper spot in Cabinessence so it was much more prominent in the mix. It sounded totally tubular.

Another time I copied the "Oh baby turn up the radio - the DJ just said he's playing our favorite song - talk to me" section in the Spring song "Good Time" and pasted it into its "proper" spot in the Beach Boys' version of "Good Time". It was perfectly seamless and sounded like it was part of the song. It was bitchin', man.

I posted two, hour long edits of Beach Boys songs, done in a Smile fanmix/Beatles Love style. I think they turned out pretty groovy, and people dug them, dude.

I cut my vinyl copy of Summer In Paradise into 30 second snippets, shuffled the pieces around a bit and then tried to set fire to them and then put them in the bin. Can't get more Smile than that.

I haven't gone as far as that, but I am waiting until 2037 till I listen to it for the first time.

I'm trying to make a version of Smile and Smiley Smile.  I call it Smile(y).  It looks like this.

(a)
Our Prayer (GV box)
Little Pad
Do You Like Worms?  (GV box)
Wonderful (GV box)
Fall Breaks and Back to Winter
Wind Chimes (SS)

(b)
Surf’s Up (part one instrumental)
Mrs O’Leary’s Cow
Surf’s Up (1966 demo)
Whistle In
She’s Going Bald
Wonderful (SS)

I have never done that, but it gives me an idea! Shut Down Vol. 2! Now that we have some acapellas, takes and using some audio channel isolation we can make an interesting mix ala SMILE.

The intro to Do It Again from the C50. The Foskett introductions. A separate track of it's own, building to a crescendo when Brian is introduced. I always wished Carl and Dennis were part of the introductions. Only way you could do it though is to have Jeff re-record it to include Carl and Dennis. Is that kinda weird or would it be neat? OK, maybe not, but I'm sure a few of you have thought of it before!

10 years ago I gave the BB mini-album Mt. Vernon & Fairway - Fairytale the full SMiLE treatment - mixing its storyline within a SMiLE framework (and the SMiLE tracks available right before BW presents SMiLE) for our SMiLE-movie: "Dumb Angel Fairy Tale".

I completely agree Mikie. It felt a bit strange not having two of The Beach Boys not being introduced, but I think I made up for it by making sure each member would their own moment(s) to show who they are, and why they are all amazing.

I still get a little emotional hearing that intro. C50 was incredible.

How about mixing 'I Wanna Pick You Up' with the end of 'All I Want to Do'.

I think 'I Wanna Pick You Up' is about a father who discovers that his kids aren't babies anymore, so personally I think that would be kind of gross.

Well, maybe this would be the Manson mix album. Finding songs that individually are innocent enough, but together, it is so wrong.
