Fall Breaks...and Back to Mixing!





What I love about helping compile and create these sets is that we can take this music out of time, separate it from the concept of the album and reposition it into the ERA. "We" don't necessarily need it -- but the new converts need and use it for context. To many, this is how they're being introduced to this music -- Jiggy Flows did that perfectly. Now, maybe some new/younger fans can't tell the difference these days between what's Jiggy Flows and what's Jiggy and the Passions -- but is that the WORST thing? Them hearing it and sharing it and discussing it is the BEST thing.

This is all an outgrowth of the influx of new "blood" from the Jiggy22 Presents Smile fan base (huge tip of the hat to SaltyMarshmallow -- we're really where we're at today because of him and Sloop.) 1 year on, these sets give us a chance to reposition the camera in a way that -- I feel -- illuminates some tracks in a more direct and succinct way. I was insistent early on that the stereo mixes from Smiley Smile should be mixed down to their bare essence, for the basic reason that I'm pretty confident that they'll get Apple Music™ and blog placements with the more natural mix.

That's how this stuff lives on and grows beyond us loving it and passing it along single google drive link to friends and family. I think the fact that this stuff was NOT played in rotation next to "China Grove" and Skynyrd will ultimately be its saving grace. I think this stuff is poised to be devoured NOW.

That said, would've loved to have fit the L.A. version of "Here Comes the Night" on to this one. . .
