Man I haven't heard this song in forever. I think it's good overall and accurate to what I can remember, but it sounds too synthy for me. Like the bass for example. It sounds too Midi-ish. I'd like to hear more natural sounds for this song. Good job on the vocals.

I didn't think I'd like it but I do. I'm a huge fan of The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson in particular. Good job. Some points for you.

I like it all...excellent mix, crystal clear...it does sound very midi(ish) but I think it suites it, I wouldnt guess it was a beach boys track, or really what era it was from except for some of the melody..very professional
great work
great work

I've never listened to this song before and think it sounds great. The production is remarkable. The performance matches it, though.

That's the thing. The only thing that I tried to get accurate was the vocals. The rest I just did what I wanted to do. I tried to make it sound like some of the instrumentation they would use, but not what the song actually used. Thanks for listening, and for the comments but I myself like the bass. It's all subjective I guess.
I'm glad you did! I am a big Brian Wilson fan. I am a huge fan of SMiLE.
Thank you ver much! I really tried. I'm glad you liked it!I like it all...excellent mix, crystal clear...it does sound very midi(ish) but I think it suites it, I wouldnt guess it was a beach boys track, or really what era it was from except for some of the melody..very professional

Well done Adam,
I must admit I prefer your more organic recordings & those that take the synth thing to extremes.
Your vocals are the stand out - harmonies et al.
I didn't like the BBoys until I was about 40. Now I'm a Brian Wilson nut. My fav solo track would be Love & Mercy - I used it at school for a couple of years when I had some very good musical kids in my class - they'd sing it really well (had to change key obviously).

Vocals are awesome. Don't know the original and don't really care for the beach boys, but this just sounds like a propman tune to me. Well done !

I never heard the track you mentioned, but I try not to keychange when I can help it. (Which has torn my throat a new one before.) I'm glad you liked it, and I too prefer the things you mentioned. They are more really fun to record. Thanks.
Thanks very much Heat. I'm glad you like it! (The fact you told me it sounded like one of my tunes, is a total complement!)Vocals are awesome. Don't know the original and don't really care for the beach boys, but this just sounds like a propman tune to me. Well done

Very nicely done. I'm a BB, Brian fan from way back. The vocals in your version seem to have a hint of a British accent. Am I correct on that? You don't indicate where you are from.
By the way, I was lucky enough to see Brian in concert at a convention a few years ago. You can check out my pictures of the event here: http://www.pbase.com/rking401/brian_wilson&page=all Click on a thumbnail to enlarge a picture.

Cool harmonies. I like it! Do any more BB covers?

Thanks for the listen. And sorry. You're incorrect. I'm from Texas actually. I have had quite a few people telling me that they pick that up when I sing, but I kind of attribute that to listening to tons of beatles music. By the way, those are some incredible photographs. (I'm an amature photographer myself) I really like this one for some reason. Anyway, thanks again for listening, and I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you. I'm glad you do!
And yes actually I did. I covered Good Vibrations (<-link) It was a HUGE undertaking which took me about 23 hours (straight) of work. It was recorded in a modular fashion just as the original was done. It was always one of my favorite pieces of music, and one that I always wanted to tackle but was too afraid to due to it's scale and almost mystical status. If I were Nicolas Cage, I would refer to the song as my "unicorn". I was happy with the way that it turned out and though not perfect, it is still pretty darn good for what it is. Thanks for the listen, and the further interest.-Adam.

Perfection. I'm gonna have to listen to the rest of your stuff now.
I really wish some band had followed up the Beach Boys style after them. I've listened to all their stuff and now there's just nothing else. Big hole their I'm surprised no one has successfully filled.

Thank you very much!
I too wish that, but the thing is I don't really think it could be done. They were too good.-Adam.
