If you can find it, get the original Smile sessions. I think it only exists on bootleg. It's less-polished but more interesting.

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

I thought most of those were incomplete as well as being roughs?

Yes, but I still like them more than Smile. Maybe I just hate the way Brian Wilson sounds now.  :D

My Bloody Valentine was unique and Kevin Shields a minor genius. Anyway, in concert they were truly hypnotic and mesmerizing!

I kinda don't get what all the fuss is about.  I was expecting to be totally blown away.  I even tried to put on different ears and all that, but somehow, it just doesn't have the impact on me that it seems to have on...like....the rest of the world.

FWIW, I wasn't really taken with this either [Brian Wilson's Smile], especially after all the praise from critics and from friends.  It wasn't "horrible"--just not compelling enough to play again.

It was a difficult thing to pull off:  exhume an incomplete project which had accumulated the aura of legend, and try to put it together after so many years, in what is in so many respects a perfectly different context (the central figure in the drama included).

Perhaps it represents an effort of more importance as Wilson's reclaiming his musical mind, than as a musical document? (<-- pure speculation, as I haven't heard Smile in any form)

I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.
