Track by Track Review
Rock (Instrumental)
This is a catchy instro with an almost go-go sound. Distortion and rampaging rhythms, and that between surf and psych club sound. Great drums and sax break, and intensely warbled guitar.
Haramiler - Canlica Yolunda Psychedelic Surf (Instrumental)
Verging on psychedelia, and sporting some very cool surf glissandos, "Canlica Yolunda" is an intriguing blend of traditional Turkish sounds and western structures. This superb song is just waiting for an inventive surfband to make it their own. Very cool!
Psychedelic Surf (Vocal)
"Cicek Dagi" is a pretty instro with a surf feel as viewed through the veils of time. Interesting and adventurous, and on the edges of surf where only the brave ride the curl.
