Issue #14
This is a surf album with a new-age feel, having almost a spiritual quality, like a transcendent exploration of the abyss. Beautifully captured fluidity, a swirling serenity, itís like floating in a smooth vortex of ultra-clear tones and bubbling waters. "Mare Amniotica" explores the seascape of the womb, then a version of "Hall of the Mountain King" seems to slowly rise from the depths and build towards its proper elevation. ìMagyaraî is their take on gypsy music played in the Hungarian minor scale, and it ends with reverby memorial to Joe Strummer on "Charlie Donít Surf." This is one to put on, kick back, and relax in tranquility.
