While I have always dug traditional, early '60's style surf more than modern prog surf, the new Pollo del Mar disc may make me give some modern recordings a closer listen. This is without a doubt the best Pollo Del Mar release to date, showing off their impeccable playing, songwriting and recording skills. You can tell right off the bat that these guys have bben at it for a while - the sounds and textures these guys use are amazing. With such a range of sounds and moods, this is undoubtably a release that has great "crossover potential." In other words, it's got what it takes to appeal to appeal to just about anyone. Also, it's been such a long time since I have seen such erotic cover art - reminds me of what you might have found on some low-budget, Living Strings release of the mid-70's with lots of groaning and moaning throughout the songs. ****1/2
