Customer Reviews:
It's pretty far from the beach..........2005-02-03
We're not in the world of traditional surf here... this is evolution (and in some cases, devolution; some of these guys are either going the wrong way or they're just lost). There are some great mainstream surf groups on the disk: Bomboras, The Fathoms, Laika and the Cosmonauts, Man or Astroman, The Tiki Men and Los Straitjackets... but these sets don't represent their strongest material. And I should say that this disk calls itself instro-rock, not surf, and it is.
Surf fans will take to The Fathoms' "Blandingo", Man or Astroman's version of "Intoxica", Ben Vaughn's spaghetti-western "Enfermo", The Omega Men doing "My Favorite Dean Martian", perhaps The Tiki Men with "Theme from the Unknown" and Los Straitjackets playing "Spanish Fly". The rest of the disk is pretty uneven, kind of "He got on his horse and rode off in all directions".
If you're looking for a sampler... this is a good buy. It will introduce you to a number of players you don't know and may wish to know better. If you're looking for trad-surf, this isn't it.
BEST SURF COMP!.......2000-10-13
If you're looking for great surf and instrumental music, this is IT! "Instrumental Fire" is an excellent compilation and sampler of some of the best modern instrumental bands of today. From the trashy L.A. sounds of the Bomboras, to the smooth Los Straitjackets, the fiery Fathoms (easily the best of the modern surf bands) or the all-out space fest of Man or Astroman?, it's all here on this CD. Pulp Fiction is gone, but this is the new order of surf instrumentals. Buy this, you won't regret it...a great disc!
