This project was something special and I loved every minute of working on it. I wanted this album to show its full potential by sequencing all of the songs together and make it sound as a whole, like a big medley. And it turned out great, as it should considering the whole album is a masterpiece.

 I even worked on the cover art a bit, found the high quality photo from the channel Stereo Music (https://www.youtube.com/c/StereoMusic...), gave it some color, added the "full dimensional sound" logo, changed the letters to spell out CHiLD, like SMiLE and I think it looks better, and also I found a back cover with the track listing and "Brians Back!" written on I'm guessing literally Brian's back. I fixed that up and added my own track listing. I don't know if it's a legit picture of Brian since it was clearly from a bootleg, but I think it looks like him and I love how it looks. It works well with the humor within Brian's work and its just perfect, Brian's front in front, his back in the back, cracks me up thinking about it.

In my mind if this was released this way, I would imagine a timeline where Mike and maybe Al would finally back off and say "Okay Brian, you can have your way with your "big band and synth mumbo jumbo" on this album. We did this to you once and look how that turned out. Let's just get it over with shall we?" (Some people just never learn do they?)

 The other thing is I would imagine the record company (I'm not sure if its Brother Records or Reprise Records so I put both of their logos on seperate sides) doubling down on the "Brians Back" campaign, putting his name on almost every song as if it would be his own record, just featuring The Beach Boys (honestly looks that way) and let Brian go all out with this album. The only request the record would make is compose a few "appropriate and marketable" tracks and add them onto the album. Because of that they would work on more tracks and release it near the end of 1978, around when M.I.U. was released or in late October. Also I would think because of the length of each side, to preserve the tracks' quality they would use extended-play LP that could go up to 26 minutes, which works just fine. 

I cleared and mixed some of the tracks to make it sound more listenable. The sequencing of the tracks worked so well that it feels like this was always meant to be this way. I made some tempo changes that worked well and some pitch shifts that sort of didn't but I made them to make the transitions sound more cohesive so, little sacrifices had to be made.

And in the end of the alternate timeline I think it would be much more divisive than Love You, some hating it while others calling it "Brian's second chance at his magnum opus" and I think he sure nailed it. The first side of the album sounds more like Brian's "all out quirky and weird" tracks that sound amazing, and the second side being a more commercial side with more tracks about love and such [don't mind Hey Little Tomboy there ;)] and that side sounds amazing as well. And I added some vinyl crackling sounds to give it that "long lost album" vibes and I guess that could throw off some people but don't worry, I'm going to share a file with the sides without the cracking sounds and maybe with the cover arts after the premiere.

Chatroom Messages (Demo)

"Everybody's always asking for a recording of this song, so I'm finally getting around to it. It's a 4 track version I did when I was demoing for 2, I did a final version but it never made it out of tape land and onto the computer, maybe I'll find it someday.

I don't know how many downloads it'll allow, or when it expires.
Also, new music soon, I just had penis enlargement surgery so my balance is all out of whack and I can't play my drums properly right now, but soon enough I'll get used to this new piece.

Passing By

All of my days are bleeding in
Sleep all of my life away
Eyes closed and I'm such a haze
Wake up, my love is getting late

Now I'm awake
Now it's the day
Sunlight only shines while you're awake
I woke up to find my dreams falling away

I wonder why I have to leave
Just for the sun to run away
Life is so much better spent in dreams
When drifting off and I deflate

Let the stars erase
Troubles of the day
Does it even matter much at all
If I live my life in bed dreaming away
