Track by Track Review
Heavy Surf (Instrumental)
"Crash" is intense and yet restrained somehow. Great drums and stop-start energy, intensely relentless. Harsh double picked guitar shimmers with edge. Did I mention the drums here? Superb!
Heavy Surf (Instrumental)
This gently shimmered vibrato masterpiece may be pretty in its own way, but that does not mean it's quiet. The melody is haunting and sad, and the bass provides a stable platform for the drums to inject their beat. Quite a nice track.
Tema para o filme 'O Bota'o' Heavy Surf (Instrumental)
"Tema para o filme 'O Bota'o'" is an aggressive instro with a slowly shifting phase and gutty garage sound. Not melodic, but gutsy and driven.
