Track by Track Review
Surf Rock (Instrumental)
"Talking Pipes" is a murky reverbed Link Wray inspired howler used in a Guinness ad in Europe. Riff rock with heavy fuzz made a bit surfy via track-wide digital reverb on the guitar. dark and scary.
Surf Rock (Instrumental)
This is a monster of dark charging long sustain rock. The extreme reverb on the second guitar sometimes obscures the melody guitar, or perhaps the murky one is the lead. Either way, "Maximum Dutch" is a rockin' power chord thrasher.
