At least for the very reasons you cite it should be of
interest to many proggers.
Chris Cutler loves that album, _Smiley Smile_, including
it on his list of recommended records. And it was
probably what led Faust to put "We love the Beach Boys!"
on their first album (which scared me away from buying
it for about 6 months).
