Track by Track Review
The Chancellors - 5 Minus 3 Garage Organ (Instrumental)
Fast and garagy, "5 Minus 3" is neither mathematical nor very interesting. Just a riff rocker from a garage somewhere. Organ lead.
The Mussies - 12 O'Clock July Rock (Instrumental)
"12 O'Clock July" is a fuzzy ripper of a cover of Link Wray's "Jack The Ripper." This is all garage, and all cool! It has a busy drum solo and some cool muted echo pre-psych jammin' too! I'm quite sure Link would like this.
Rock (Instrumental)
Beautiful surf chords open to whammy chords and just enough weirdness to be interesting, and not enough to be quirky. Kinda muddy, yet charming. The reverb, the guitar chops, the bass and drums... it all adds up here to a very cool obscuro.
