Music reviews of Endless Harmony
Music Review: Thank you Brian!
Rating: 5 Stars
This cd is worth it's weight in gold just for the STEREO remixes of California Girls and Kiss Me Baby... let alone the previously unreleased and unique Soulful Old Man Sunshine. My neighbors must think I have a beach party going on in my apartment 24/7.
Great Carl material here. His barebones demo of God Only Knows shows how great Brian's masterpiece is even before erecting the wall of sound. Carl again SOARS on his live performance of Darlin'.
Like another reviewer mentioned, this cd is aimed at the sophisticated, advanced Beach Boy afficionado... but anyone will love the sounds here. Very special bonus- Brians demo of Heros and Villains on piano! Again Bruce Johnston comes up with a cool title (Endless Harmony) but his actual songs aren't quite Brian Wilson level material... but then again whose songs are? Terms like genius and legend get overused... but Brian Wilson is the definition of both. We should pull Bush and Cheney's secret service detail and have them protect Brian. He is our greatest national treasure.

Those familiar with the Beach Boys' decades of familial squabbles and personal discord will find the title Endless Harmony almost too ironic. But this soundtrack from the band-sanctioned VH-1 television special wisely focuses on the band's undeniable vocal prowess and the vaunted composing/arranging/producing skills of its chief architect, Brian Wilson. It also manages a fresh take on one of the most over-exposed catalogs in pop, largely by raiding the vaults for some unexpected gems. Twenty-one of the 23 music tracks (two brief radio promos are also included) here are previously unreleased. Several Brian Wilson demos give insight in to his creative process. Worshippers of that grail of unreleased albums, Smile, will be excited to find that the piano demo of "Heroes and Villains" also includes snippets of "I'm in Great Shape" and "Barnyard," long-lost pieces of that legendary album/puzzle. Wilson's demo for "Breakaway" illustrates how he would arrange songs by recording each band member's vocal part himself--Wilson quite literally is the Beach Boys here. Also notable is "Surf's Up" engineer Steve Desper's radical (for 1970) remix of Wilson's fatalistic classic "Til I Die," early versions of "Do It Again," and "Help Me, Rhonda," and gorgeous (if heretical) stereo mixes of "California Girls" and "Kiss Me, Baby." The other band members' creative instincts are succinctly documented, but as always, it is the sound and vision of Brian Wilson that overshadows them. "Genius" might just be too weak an adjective. --Jerry McCulley
