Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Russian chorus, classic eastern European rhythms, and double picked lead. "Prasdnik Moscovski" pumps and sways with exhilarating enthusiasm. Part traditional, part surf, and all fun. Lines from "Samovar" add interest.
Surf (Instrumental)
Soft liquid guitar delivers a lovely melody. Cowboy rhythmic muted rhythm guitar really charms as the song unfolds. Highly infectious! "Moon Over Babahoyo" is simply superb!
Surf (Instrumental)
"El Ultimo Tren" is an easy going song with a pretty melody and an gentle sound. Glissandos and verses from "Malaguena" connect it to surf very well. Quite nice.
Surf (Instrumental)
"Surfin' Zombies" cycles in a heavy charge, with delicate double picked leads and circular rhythm patterns. Great drums and bass too.
