👽   Zen Boogie Tributes to A Tribal Smile   🚀


The Zen Boogie series of albums brings together reimagined sonic translations of classic A Tribal Smile songs. The underlying songs are human-written by Steveadelic and his fellow sonic travellers, while every Zen Boogie arrangement is conceived, produced, mixed, and mastered by Steveadelic at Gallifrey Studios in the depths of the Space Basement.

Swim deeper into the vibrant musical cosmos of A Tribal Smile, where iconic artists such as Gluteus Maximus, Jawbone and the Mandibles, The Andromeda Dispatch, Rusty Bucket and the Mile Markers, and countless others deliver fresh sounds from beyond the ordinary.

Are these actually real bands or transmografied hallucinations? While these versions are manifestations of musical intelligence that is artificial to some, the songs themselves are not AI-written. Each Zen Boogie interpretation is specifically hand-crafted by Steveadelic from original A Tribal Smile music and lyrics, including songs created with the collaborators credited below, through his uniquely prescribed arrangements, instrumentation, and vocals.

These collections of reimagined A Tribal Smile arrangements, thoughtfully hand-crafted by Steveadelic, are available on all major streaming services!
