Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
The CD's title track rules heavily. It is an intense surf number full of double picks and raw energy. This tune is melodic, and fiery. It was used in the very popular Honda Integra TV ads in Japan, and catapulted them into the spotlight.
Surf (Instrumental)
The second track "Typhoon Swell" is a hokey tune that some how drags you under it's spell, even when you don't want to go.
Surf (Vocal)
Occasionally, the Surf Coasters record a vocal, and most are unusual, quirky, and fun. This is more unremarkable.
