Heroes & Villains (Beach Boys cover)

In true Brian Wilson fashion, my version of SMiLE is taking me absolutely forever to finish. So to make up for it, here's a taste of Heroes & Villains -- cobbled together like the 45 version, mono and all. I plan to remix it in stereo (and with all the extra pieces, like the Cantina and Western Theme sections) when I'm ready to share my full SMiLE cover, but I hope you enjoy this version in the mean time.

Amazing!

Very Brucey.

[MysterMystery]

Excellent, excellent! By the way, in this recording, your voice sounds like Bruce Johnston

[wynorth]

this is absolutely incredible. you've actually done a better job of re-creating Smile songs than Brian and Darian et al in 2004. your version of Smile should be released!

Christ, how the hell do you do this? Please don't tell me you use autotune... although with some programs it's really tempting because it's so easy.

Another awesome one

excellent mix, the bass in the main verse could be made louder as ClassicRockerSr101 says, looking forward to your final mix ;)
