Yes. I own it. Wilson had a great ear for melodies and arrangements and was a pioneer in the studio, 40 years ago. In fact I have owned both the first run and the latest re-issue. But as much as I understand Wilson's achievements as a producer, I have a hard time listening to the '60s stuff because of the over use of a certain instrument (which someone told me what it was a while back, but I forgot) that makes some sort of hooting or honking sound that drives me nuckin futs. Wilson's lyrical content is very hit and miss with me as well. Its a love hate thing I have with the BBs.

I like the late '60s output more...I think Feel Flow is the greatest pop performance of all time, musically and production wise. I listen to that song all the time.

...the dread theremin...a little goes a long way...probably should have put it back in it's case after Good Vibrations...

Somewhere on PS there's a dog barking...final cut I think...Pet sounds? barking at shadows? Maybe he was nuts ahead of his time...

P.S. Don't buy the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet (the sci-fi flick) it's all theremin..all the time...

Hey now, don't be puttin' down the theremin. The Bernard Herrman soundtrack to The Day The Earth Stood Still is a classic!

I think Bernie put it to good use - not "campily" as with the Robby the Robot. Gort could kick his ass!
