Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Surf chords, spy ideas, a surfable riff, and big twang chords, plus a few glissandoes. Add a few string swipes and some double picking, and you have an aggressive short board romp.

"High Compression" is a fast ride on a dangerous reef break. Speedy glissandoes, surf thrash, spunk and punk edge, and lots of cutting back. More spirit and abandon than style, yet very cool.
Surf (Instrumental)
Slowing things down a bit, this song sports a good melody that projects warm summer nights gazing at the breakwater. This is quite a satisfying track, with a semi tropical south of the border sound. "Midnight Surf" is not the Johnny Fortune song.
