Brian Wilson's Smile

[loretian]

I've been listening to this album for a few days now, and I'm extremely impressed.  His "modular" music approach makes the music somewhat harder to get into, but once it soaks in, it's that much cooler.

The vocal melodies are indescribably beautiful, a classic Beach Boys sound, and the buildup to Good Vibrations just elevates it that much more.  I absolutely love the choral parts at the beginning of In Blue Hawaii (I can't remember the exact name of the song at the moment)
