Here are some things that need to be said:
Pet sounds is an album that everyone should own, study, cherish, and
enjoy. Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds is an open-ended experiment
conducted out of reverence, curiosity, and awareness of the sobering
fact that you can't improve upon perfection.
Despite the fact that the release is named Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds,
Hippocamp does not endorse the creation or distribution of this work.
At no time was hippocamp.net involved with distributing this material
to the public. Hippocamp's involvement has been explicitly limited to
providing a forum where the artists could plan the project before its
completion and where fans could discuss the values and cultural
ramifications of such a piece of art.
As the project tended towards completion we began to contemplate the
merit of the art we were making and what it meant to the artists
involved. It became apparent that the values of such a project were
greater than we had anticipated. We believe the recognition of these
ideas reinforces the project's merit as a piece of critical commentary
to be freely disseminated and discussed. Here are some of the key
concepts regarding Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds:
- The songs that form Pet Sounds are timeless and as relevant today as
they ever were.
- Recontextualizing the sounds, lyrics, and feelings of the original
work can transform the listening experience entirely.
- Anything we meager bedroom artists shall ever hope to accomplish
will never hold a torch to the masterpiece that is the original Pet
Sounds.
- We hope that any fans of the Beach Boys with no previous electronic
music listening experience may discover an appreciation for the stuff
and vice versa.
- We relish the opportunity to increase public awareness about the
original Pet Sounds and perhaps increase album sales as a result.
- The recognizable elements of Pet Sounds are still beautiful when
presented in a drastically altered form.
- Perhaps this demonstrates in an exaggerated way how pervasive the
influence of classics such as Pet Sounds may be.
Support Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys! Buy an album! See a live
show! Great music never dies.
