Track by Track Review
Spy (Instrumental)
Big fuzz approaching the spy sound from the Mission Impossible direction, with string bending action and a credible melody. Whirling console organ backs up the double picked parts.
Spy (Instrumental)
"Four Eyes" is a pretty darn cool fuzz number with a bit of surf sensibility and lots of edge. melodic and relentless.
Spy (Instrumental)
Espionage on the "Siberian Express" is dipped in organ cheese. Well written and executed, with big guitar charging and whistling organ.
Spy Surf (Instrumental)
"The Vibe" floats groovily across a sad scene with cool organ tone and haunting drums and bass. The guitar rings in danger looming in the distance. Brooding and hazardous.
Spy (Instrumental)
The big twang goes to Egypt, where a relentless riff and spy tone support whirling organ melodies. haunting and troublesome.
Spy (Instrumental)
Big fuzz spy with intense guitar drive and a whistling organ underbelly. Very big and powerful, with vibrant harsh guitar work. Quite cool.
