Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA  | This rare mid sixties ep from Angola featured four tracks, two vocals ("Paula" and "SO.H.") and two instros that are pretty surfy ("Billy Zoom" and "Manga Madura"). |
Picks: Billy Boom, Manga Madura
Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
"Billy Boom" is a raucous near surf instro with a big drum break and surfisms on the guitar. Brash and splashy, with loud surf guitar. It's very interesting to hear how surf was transmuted in Africa.
Surf (Instrumental)
Dark surf guitar plays a frat progression and jammin' melody line, with a frantically double picked bridge. Really dangerous and primitive.
