I thought I would post my thoughts about Terry's contributions to Making God Smile.
Love and Mercy - Randy Stonehill (produced by Terry)
Absolutely beautiful!! This is not a song I was previously familiar with. It's on one of Brian's solo records. Beautiful clarity in the production. Randy's voice is a perfect match with Brian's melody and the childlike innocent yet profound lyrics. Randy and Terry's harmonys are seamless. You can't tell who's who... My favorite of the Terry contributions to the record.
Vegatables - Terry
Very good. A goofy song sung with soul and humor by Terry. In the liner notes he admits that "Meal" off of Shotgun Angel was heavily influenced by this song. I've never thought of that connection, but it makes sense.
With Me Tonight - The Lost Dogs
I hate to say it, but this one dissappointed me. It's a beautiful song but the Dog's version is kinda stiff and souless. Brian's music is heavily influenced by 50's and early 60's doo wap and R and B. The Dogs version while very competently sung somehow manages to strip the soul out of the original. In order to work, the song needs to groove. I like version on Smiley Smile much better.
What do other's think??

I LOVE "Love and Mercy." What a great track!! The lyrics and the vocals on it are so beautiful.
I can see the connection between "Vegetables" and "Meal." I love the song "Meal," but "Vegetables" is perhaps a little too wacky for me. I need to be in the right mood for it.
"With Me Tonight" is growing on me the more and more I listen to it.
I put all three of the tracks on my "Terry Besides" CD-R which has been playing nonstop in my car for almost a week, so I hear these tracks a lot. But "Love and Mercy" is the one to get!!

I think that that's so true. I was driving around listening to my CD-R collection "Terry Besides" and some songs were just making me cry. It makes me want to learn the guitar just so that I can play his music myself.

Doppelgänger is one of my favorite DA albums!! I could listen to this one on repeat for a month no prob. "Hollow Man" alone (and reprise) is incredible. "Real Girls" and "Mall (all over the world)" are other classics off the album. For me when I think of the ¡Alarma! Chronical albums, I put them in this order:
1 · Fearful Symmetry
2 · Doppelgänger
3 · Vox Humana
4 · ¡Alarma!
(now this thread will turn into everyone rating the four ¡Alarma! albums and arguing about which one is better than which.)

it wasn't about the songs...but the way they were done. i could be wrong .
notice the version of "the pool" on "the miracle faith telethon". and i quote: "stripped of keyboards and extaraneous sounds, and re-recorded with greater emphasis on guitar, this version of "the pool" more accurately captures the feel of a live da concert".
|
But the original recording of "The Pool" is what I like the most. So why doesn't he re-do the album like he did for SotH? That would rock!! I'd love an acoustic Pool!

I know I'm gonna get a lot of flack for suggesting this because everybody (Including me) is waiting for the re-issue of DFBB and Let's Spin as well as Outdoor Elvis, but I really want to fill the Fearful Symmetry spot in my CD case. Vox Humana does not like sitting next to Kalhoun. It wants Fearful Symmetry. Yes, I know it was re-released on the Alarma book set and I do have the book set but I need the artwork. I often wonder why Terry doesn't like Fearful Symmertry. It is an amazing album!!! Is there ever going to be a chance that you will re-release it??? As for DFBB, Hurry up, please! Kalhoun is tired of sitting by Vox Humana.
|
Vox Humana next to Kalhoun!! NEVER!!! I suggest you put an empty jewel box between those two, they are not allowed to touch each other.
Fearful Symmetry is one of the best albums and the artwork is great!!!! How can Terry not like it? It has "The Pool," "Neverland Ballroom," and "Instruction Thru Film!" Those songs rock!!

It's a one way list so it just means the management tell you stuff. It's not like the DADL when everyone pipes in.
The list gave advance notice of the Hodgepodge and prickly heat sessions disks.
