"I'm also glad to hear a firsthand review of "Smile" -- I'll probably pick up a copy on the way home today."
Yeah, there are a couple of good reviews of it on the Amazon site.
And, just for the record, I am not one of those Brian Wilson nuts. I bought it mostly just to see what all the buzz was about with Smile.
But I was simply floored. Sonicly it is amazing. But the sheer volume and power of heart and soul that was poured into this piece of work has brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion.
Very much worth owning.

Three Scotches into the evening, lights down and listening carefully -- holy smokes! This is definitely worth owning. "Erratic genius", if I had to characterize it in two words. I spent an awful lot of my twenties acquainting myself with, um...party favors most commonly associated with Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead. This is...well...remarkable. I only wish it had come out fifteen years ago.
Based on this initial audition, I don't know that I'd call Brian all better, or normal, or even well-adjusted. But this is amazingly focused, and you're right -- the heart and soul of this work is breathtaking. No one makes albums like this any more.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Could someone walk me through on how to do this.
I'm running a Mac with OSX.

Windows and Mac users: go here and download the BitTorrent client for your computer. It will install a helper app that will launch the .torrent files for you and start downloading the large file.
Go here to learn more about BitTorrent and why it's so cool.

I went there and downloaded it, but in the read me file it says it will only work with OSX 10.3 Panther, witch is confusing since in the faqs it says it will work with OS9 with a helper app.
I'me sure it will work with 10.2.8 but I dont know how and cant find any reference.
Any ideas?

Yeah, it's pretty amazing, isn't it?
It has probably spent more time spinning than anything else of late except maybe that Blackjack David.
Good Vibrations has become my #1 Go To to show off the Axioms to friends.
Glad you liked it.
