Double-Crown-Records Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 1223	Posted on Feb 19 2011 12:38 AM Thanks for this great review! I was a little worried about how the crowd here would receive this one - as you say, it's not surf music, but there are instrumentals on it. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and it seems to be selling pretty well. Thanks to everyone that's bought a copy so far! Onslow_Beach Thanks Sean / DoubleCrown music club! Got this in today's mail: image Getting it's first listen as I type. Really digging the vibe and production. Fun songs that I've heard so far. Needed that after a couple long days on the jay-oh-bee (and it's only Tuesday!) Update: After a few more spins, I'm compelled to log an update. Marketed/positioned as 60's Northwest R&R - I think they've nailed it. The playing is quite good, and IMO, the song composition is compelling. While they've achieved a coherent "Album", each of the 10 tracks are unique. They clearly don't just fall back on one or two tricks slightly tweaked and renamed as a new song. No, it's not surf. No it's not all Instro. But what it is, I think is done really nicely. I don't anticipate being one of those releases I listen to for a few days, shelve, and only hear again by a chance encounter when the ipod gets set to shuffle. I am really digging it as a complete album. Oh, and if the closer "Rick's Drums" doesn't make you want to hit play all over again, you may not have a pulse. — Sean Double Crown Records www.doublecrownrecords.com Surf CD's / Vinyl / Fanzines / DVD's Aloha Screwdriver - Lunar Wobble CD The Nebulas - Euphorion LP / CD Supertubos - The Fourth Drive CD Continental Magazine - Issue #37 w/17 Song CD Top

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Feb 20 2011 04:01 PM eltwang Well, thanks a lot, Ivan!! If IvanP says it, it must be true :-). Gosh, I think you're on to something, El Twang - I like that! I will present this to my wife as the new and binding foundation for our relationship. I think it'll work like charm! Seriously, though, such a great CD. When I have some more time I may venture a fuller review, but for the moment I'm curious about something. There are a few tracks on there that seem to exhibit some very non-surf influences - in particular, I'm thinking of Cherry Cheeks and Bob Hund. The first seems to me to have some '80s influences, maybe the Cure or something along those alternative lines; whereas the latter track seems to have a bit of Velvet Underground and maybe even '90s shoegazing thing to it. Was there anything you were going for in particular and in a conscious way on those songs, or was it a matter of pure creativity and just following the muse? Hope you don't mind spilling a few secrets! BTW, I love both songs, especially Cherry Cheeks, such a happy track!! — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Mar 01 2011 10:38 PM Picked up some vinyl recently: Nowhere near on par with the first album, but it's definitely worth it just for "Space Probe" and "Continental Missile." "Move It" and "Blunderbuss" are pretty good, too. image Hopefully just as much of a mainstay in peoples' collections as Surfin' With the Astronauts ... maybe not quite on par with that album, but it does have a few killer instros and some great hot rod vocal tunes. Nice packaging from Sundazed, as expected. What can really be said about this one? image Bootleg all-instro collection of songs from his various 60's studio albums. Killer album that's halfway between R&B and surf. Highly recommended. — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3798 North Atlantic	Posted on Mar 06 2011 02:09 PM I've been listening to the Beechwoods off and on for the last week, and really like to CD. This one reminds me of the Revels, and Jim Waller and the Deltas: pre surf sounding. The vocal tunes are a lot of fun too! The lack of Reverb on much of the guitar doesn't both me. A nice late 50's sounding slab of plastic. image Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top

I wouldn't go out of your way to snag it, to be honest. If not my favorite surf album then top three for sure. Glad to finally have it on vinyl. — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
