Listening some more, a couple of more things that could've been improved on. The end transitions of Barnyard leading into Sunshine and Song For Children leading into CITFOM could have both been tighter. I think there still might also be a hair of a pitch discrepancy betwen Barnyard and Sunshine...ce...

Interesting fan mix. What boot did the take with the drum track that comes in around the 1:00 mark come from? Is it on the SOT Smile box? I don't recall it.

BTW, disappointed with PurpleChick's work. Kudos for trying, but the seams are too damn obvious, source quality is all over the place, often poor, the synch-ups feel weird...it's a digital mess. I think going for stereo AND a quasi-puritanical faithfulness to the 2004 SMiLE script (sans 2004 Brian ...

Everybody knows Brian is sensitive to criticism, and I think as a result there has emerged this subgroup of Brian fanboys who believe that any criticism of any Brian project is somehow going to filter back to him and cause him to have another breakdown. It's a sort of cultlike "Brian says the new S...

One other comment: I thought they could have done the 'Barnyard' sync a little better. Obviously, once one gets over the hurdle of having to digitally pitch and tempo correct the piano demo, another problem still remains - the same problem that Jeff Lynne had to deal with on 'Free As A Bird'. That b...

By the way, Desper mentionned an attempt to synch Brian's Surf's Up vocal (from the piano demo) with the backing track, in 1971. That version would hae been interesting to hear. Definitely. Though I must admit, I think the standard released version that we all know is a masterpiece. I think it's on...

A couple of other comments: Nitpicking...a few things stick out for me that could have been improved. On 'Surf's Up' the sync up of the Brian vocal/piano track to the stereo backing is generally fair. But there are some stray piano notes from the backing track at the end of the first verse that are ...

BTW, has anyone here heard about a boot release of the "Barnyard" backing track in stereo and sourced from tape - vs. the acetate.

I thought I heard a few months back that this was found and on the horizon. Has it been booted yet?

I'll grab this. I did my own and posted on it a year ago (which was met with ridicule and indifference - *whimper* *sob*). I tweaked it since then but I based mine on the new SMiLE too but just went for the 'best' sound and musical experience. Yeah, this Chick reconstruction often sacrifices the au...

Bastard.

Ok...I'll email it to you then. Could you FTP it up to your space and post a link?

Pretty please?

Where does one find this Purple Chick monster? http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 BTW, is there some way to upload a jpeg attachment from one's computer here, rather than just posting a link? I'd like to attach the Chick's reconstruction notes. I'm a computer buffoon, so if i...

I hate fan mixes. I don't like them either - god knows there are enough of them floating around. But, the PurpleChick isn't a fan mix or edit. That needs to be clarified. It's mission is simple. To reconstruct the Beach Boys "Smile," using the official BW released version as its basis. Of course th...
