While I personally do not enjoy the BWPS construction of this material, I recognize that many do, and feel it is THE version of SMiLE.  That is completely fine, so I am including an all-stereo reconstruction of the BWPS sequence as the second disc of this set.  I put great care into trying, to the best of my capabilities and materials at hand, to replicate that specific sequence as heard on Brian Wilson’s solo 2004 album–measure to measure!  All tracks are crossfaded and hard edited into each other, making three continuous Movements, as per BWPS.  Note that there were several interstitial orchestral pieces arranged by Darian Sahanaja that simply do not exist as a Beach Boys equivalent, and in those cases I had to substitute different or similar vintage recording.  Also, like the 1967 Mix, I am not using any modern fly-ins or AI-sung completions.

Thanks, sonic. While I tend to prefer mono, particularly for albums originally only released that way, stereo is amazing when done properly. I'm excited to check out your latest '67 mix. The BWPS fans can keep their Darian Sahanaja mix though lol. Regardless, thanks for thinking of my Sahanaja ninjas. I did want to ask you about the checksum values that you submitted for the FALK files. It looks like either your files got corrupted during the upload process, or maybe during the process of compressing them into a .zip archive? Or maybe there was a mixup or something, when creating the hash file? I downloaded the .zip archive twice, and verified the MD5 checksum values with two different apps, and they were the same both times. If the archive was corrupted during my download, it seems like the odds would be astronomically rare for the checksum values to match, for two unique corrupted downloads. Btw, maybe consider using 7zip for compressing archives. It's free, and open source, and is much more effective at compression. .7z files are compatible with most file archival apps, and are much smaller in size than .zip files. It'll save you space locally on your drives, and on your cloud accounts.

Sorry but not received anything my side of things since signing up on the 5th, looked again thoroughly and checked my historic junk folder too. Maybe you could reply by PM to confirm which email you sent it too and then get it resent?

I literally emailed you the link the other day. Check your email! ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your version - it sounds amazing, especially on headphones. This could become my go to SMiLE!

What an amazing Easter gift! Both new mixes are just stunning! You help ellucidate the amazing BW creations much more than the official releases. Thank you so much for your work!
