Slip on Through reminds me of Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' for some reason. Can't say why.

surf's up has higher peaks, but suffers badly from denny pulling his tunes from the record. surf's up with denny's tunes on it would definitely beat sunflower, where dennis's tunes are some of the highlights.

agreed. real shame about that – dennis' songs should have definitely been on the record (replacing "student" and "feet" and reconfiguring the sequence would have solved all problems), though to an extent i also understand carl's conviction that "surf's up" should be the closer. i guess it could have worked well as an opener, too, though – "don't go near the water" is a bit confusing in that position.

Stephen Desper's "study videos" are p amazing. He's the recording genius that engineered/recorded and produced Sunflower/Surfs Up. There's a melody Brian sang during Cool Cool Water sessions that just gives me chills. Unfortunately Carl demanded that it was buried in the mix wtf.
