Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Heavy aggression parsing the line between surf and rock, with some Kraut Rock influences and a dark sound. Grodie surf riffology, more than riff rock, and in the mold of vintage instros, but more edgy.
Surf (Instrumental)
Link's often covered riff growler is dirty and nasty at the hands of the Baywatchers. Very dirty guitar and loud aggression. Intense!
Surf (Instrumental)
Monster glissandoes open the flailing attack of "Green Hornet." Very heavy and dark, with great drums and intense energy. You may not survive!
Surf (Instrumental)
My goodness, what intensity. Long sliding glisses and pounding percussion. Lots of flash and shear dirty power.
Surf (Instrumental)
"Primadrenaline" delivers a plundering growl that hints at a limbering behemoth, but it does not lumber. Not for the faint at heart.
Surf (Instrumental)
The Waistcoats' aggressive "Valley Of The Mono Apes" pounds, pummels, and rages with dark intensity. Easily as cool as the original.
Surf (Instrumental)
"Waxing The Boards" is a wonderful lumbering death on the waves kind of number. Dark textures, dangerous imagery, and a sense that the sea has claimed another life. Very cool track!
Surf (Instrumental)
A fast and furious slammer with more energy and danger than anything else. Very aggressive and intense!
Surf (Instrumental)
Forgive the live sound, "Mr. Hoff Blues" is an intensely dangerous and powerful track. Very dark, with feedback and no shortage of edge.
Surf (Instrumental)
A great drum set backs a relentlessly dark and edgy song that simply will not let go. Great feedback rounds out the noisy danger.
The Joker and the Green Hornet Surf (Instrumental)
Lumbering, menacing, and thrilling, with demented laughter and snarls throughout. This medley of "The Joker and the Green Hornet" is monstrous throughout.
