Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
"Surf Date" is a moderately paced Eddie and the Showmen-like song. It's a gentle melodic surf number with ocean sounds featuring nice picking, good interplay between lead and rhythm, and an over all pleasant sound.
Man of Mystery Reverbed Shadows (Instrumental)
The Petrifieds have a slightly surfed up Shadows sound, and give a good performance, but the recording quality sux.
Unbelievable Power Of Surf Surf (Instrumental)
The Up's are a female trio with a punchy chunky rave up sound. Their "Unbelievable Power Of Surf" is a simple progression with slightly reverbed edgy guitar.
Surfin' Franco and Trashin' Ciccio Surf (Instrumental)
The Uninvited have a really lo-fi raw sound that is a semi-dramatic noise fest and little more than a vocal backtrack.
