Free For All Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 I see he has a "re-imagining Gershwin" side coming out in August. Hmmm........ Quote
theteach Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 I respect those who prefer Pet Sounds since that was truly released on time in 1966 and also was a precursor to Sgt. Pepper. BUT, Smile takes far more compositional risks than Pet Sounds. The use of overdubbing and splicing in the original recordings showed the juxtaposition of sounds and themes Wilson was trying to make. For a 1967 pop album, that was groundbreaking. Lou Quote
