I heard floating around somewhere a mooted idea for a Brian covers album focusing on his 80s and 90s stuff, this sounds like a great idea!
Here's a few which could be good;

LoveandMercy - Rainbow Eyes/Good kind of love/Walking down the Path of life/Spirit of rock and roll?
Jonas Mcfl0nuz - You're still a mystery
Don't back down - Meet me in my dreams tonight
Me - Lets do it again

I may do something for this, but there's so many to choose from. Maybe Barbie (Living Doll), I Sleep Alone, Smart Girls, South American, Where Has Love Been, In My Car, Desert Drive...

If I could join in, I think I'd like to try "Where Has Love Been."

I've narrowed it to three, Barbie (Living Doll), I Sleep Alone, and South American. South American will be the easiest for me to play and sing, but the other two would be more fun, especially I Sleep Alone.

Also, if it's cool with everyone you could send me your tunes via PM or post here and I can make it into a comp., unless Matt-Zeus wants to. Or just post the tunes here. Suggestions?

I don't mind how we do it, I suppose it would be nice to put it into some sort of upload for everyone however many tracks it will turn out to be. I don't mind doing it (I have some amateur mastering software so I can fiddle with stuff) or someone else, i'm easy.
Nice rendition of 'Where has love been' Luther, it sounds sort of Beatles-y to me, I like the upbeat outro too - this is exactly what I mean! I'm not normally too fussed on peoples renditions of BB stuff but in this context its really interesting.
Typically I haven't finished anything yet but have started on my version of 'Lets do it again'. The only other Brian song i've done previously was 'That special feeling' (which I posted here a long time ago) but here's the link from my website to download it anyway if anyones interested;

I've been messing quite a bit with it this afternoon, so expect something else before long. Same basic track, but significant changes to the "You've Touched Me" section.

That's fine with me if you want to take charge, Matt. I know my track would probably need some mastering done to it, haha. And that's what I was thinking of making it an 'album' so-to-speak with everything together (my p.o.v on it anyhow haha) as a single upload, not that I mind downloading them separate. I've been working out how I want to perform "Soul Searching". Going to start on it tonight and work on it a lot during the day tomorrow before work Smiley

I too like your version of "Where Has Love Been", Luther. I forgot about that tune. Looking forward to what you're doing with it. I might give the Imagination album a listen this week, one of my favorite albums actually.

I put the current--but not necessarily final--version on my myspace. Have a listen if you'd like. http://myspace.com/thebeaumondes

I like the arrangement of the ending... it would be cool to hear the whole song with that sort of instrumentation.

Thanks. As for the arrangements, I kind of intended to keep it simple, so I don't think I'd want to use the ending's instrumentation earlier. That was more just a change of pace.

Well I say mastering but more a program which I can adjust relative volumes and crossfades and stuff. I can eq stuff too but it might come out sounding bad so I would recommend whoever does their tracks to eq them as best they can.

Ah, gotcha. Okay then, never mind haha

I have the basic piano track down for Soul Searchin'...now just gotta figure out the rest of my arrangement.

And Luther, I dig the new arrangement man.

I've decided to do a version of The Spirit Of Rock & Roll with my band, kind of a rock arrangement and will probably end up doing it in a studio to get the sound a hear in my head for it. And then a friend and I are going to tackle Rainbow Eyes, but going more of the Smiling Pets route and turn it into a more spaced out psychedelic track (because seriously these are some of the most psychedelic lyrics Brian & Gary have come up with, they even say psychedelic!)...will be a bit of work though, so stay tuned!

Where Has Love Been with the L&M ending is very groovy! Nice harmonies too

Also, I still wouldn't mind doing Good Kind of Love but I don't have enough ideas on my own to make that one work...perhaps a cyber collaboration if anyone is interested?

Looking forward to your versions of Spirit of R&R and Rainbow Eyes! Sounds like they'll turn out good.
