Looks like the studio version of Smile has all but disappeared from YouTube.  I did a quick search earlier and only found 2 versions, one was uploaded yesterday,  and one from a couple of months ago with like 200 views. Everything else was the DDLD live version.  I didn't do a super deep dive to look either.

Here they are! The lossless files from that screenshot: https://mega.nz/folder/WxZwAIID#-bBqn86_S3f4OcQbgjL3zg

Guys, I just got my hands on the actual, source Gore Official Instrumentals that got leaked via Warner Bros around a year ago. There was already a thread about this on SL but the files uploaded by said used were 320kbps (allegedly) .mp3s. This are the official .wav 24bit/96Khz files leaked from that odd folder called "GORE INSTRUMENTALS". I found a user on Soulseek who had downloaded its content before it got taken down, so I'll share it around here. The track Xenon in particular appears to be either unmastered or brought by a different mix, hence the differing loudness measures:

So basically yeah 😄 it sounded kinda suspicious at the time, but if there's any truth to it, by now it's due time. Just trying to see if there's anything to it.

Yeah, I was just asking about that 'insider' Where he at? Since you mentioned it, any updates?

I replied to this on the actual thread for the rumored B-sides... let's keep this one on topic (11th album)

K fair enough

Why are we "interrogating" people?

Quote from: TwixPheonix on Sep 18, 2025, 02:17 PMIt has some merit to it. Kitesvera replied to the original reddit post, and id say he has some credibility. Earlier this year he also mentioned bsides, but that was long before private music was announced.

So basically user "BonnieSOAD" (who wrote the original post on Reddit) and Kitesvera are the ones we should be interrogating.

Who here knows Kitesvera?
