Despite their watery name, the Aqua Velvets don't spend the bulk of this album riding the waves. In fact, the title and desert cover art seem to point in the opposite direction. And although they still obviously love reverb and twang, the band, led by guitarist Miles Corbin, proves it is more diverse than previous albums might indicate. Sure, ...
Beyond The Beach is a 19-track compilation of contemporary surf and instrumental combos. Rocket fueled with twangy guitars drenched in reverb (with the occasional fuzz-charged tip of the hat to Link Wray), the music collected here takes the instrumental form straight into the '90s. Highlights include Teisco Del Rey's "Twango" (with guest ...
Radio Waves is a collection of live broadcast recordings from the Aqua Velvets' radio appearances in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band scorches through 23 tracks of classic surf rock. Another four tracks are included on a bonus CD (recorded in May 2001), including a wry cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." There's no doubting the ...
Even as the overcrowded field of tribute albums go, this is a pretty goofy and arcane take on the concept. The Shadows were a popular band in Britain and much of the rest of the world, but never made a dent in the United States. Yet all of the 18 artists on this compilation, released three decades after the Shadows had passed their prime, are ...
Massive, though not quite definitive, four-CD, 82-track box set of surf music. The first three discs are devoted to material from the genre's '60s prime, and the fourth devoted to revivalists from 1977 to 1995. Most listeners are still better off with the several excellent single-disc surf compilations available (the best of which, like this one, ...
The third installment of Rhino's Hard Rock Records series, Hard Rock Cafe: Surf is a fine collection of familiar surf rock hits. All the titles are familiar -- "Miserlou," "Pipeline," "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Penetration," "Mr. Moto," "Surf City," "The Lonely Surfer," "Hawaii Five-O," "Theme from Endless Summer" -- and apart from the long versions of ...
Wax your board, tie your baggies, rev up the ol' Woody and head for the waves -- and take this twang-fest along as the soundtrack. Surfmania finds a timewarped niche in the guitar-rock culture that's right up alongside the master himself, Dick Dale, and the 12 cuts herein find the band members racing through all the intersections on the surf ...
