I have 4 copies of their CD that I haven't had a chance to add to the website yet. If anyone here needs a copy, the price is $16.75. With our current free shipping offer, it'd be $16.75 anywhere in the world. Just send a Paypal payment to: records@dblcrown.com for $16.75 and include a note saying it's for the Bevel Emboss - Celluloid CD. If they don't sell, I'll add them to the website for general sale in a week or so.

Yesterday some amazing tracks at Radio 3 Spain

Session very much instrumental surf music. In the program you can listen to The Coronas (Hang five, tuning), The Tikiyaki Orchestra (La Hula Rhumba, Aloha baby and Konos revenge), Los Straitjackets (Mr Pink), The Martian Denny Orchestra (The 2000 pound bee part 2) Man or Astro Man? (All systems to go), Bevel Emboss (I like movies) and a selection of surf compilation cuts accompanying the magazine's 20th Continental Magazine. From here we click to Martin Cilia (Futurama), The Ramblin Ambassadors (Calfrobe bridge), The Atomic Blast (The amazing hypno bear), The Dead Rocks (The Curse of Tutankhamun), Los Kahunas (Goofin around you), Ding Dong Devils (The lonely Bultaco), The Surfaders (Dragstrip murder mystery) and Y Niwl (Dauddegpump).

Just got my copy in the mail today. Certainly deserves the attention it is getting and the praise. No one ever said it was surf, so no missed expectations here.

The opening 2 tracks, Rumba Nova and Arabic, really grabbed me. They force you to sit up, pay attention and get sucked in. Willing participant here! The rest of the album isn't a rinse/repeat model of those. Solid diversity from start to finish - yet a cohesive (not schizophrenic) body of work.

As commented previously in this thread and the College Charts thread, it's clear these are all choice musicians - it's a top shelf recording and the musicianship & playing may be the bands debut album but clearly not the players first rodeo.

I can't put my finger on what it is... there are just some albums you really like at first listen and wind up loving even more with time. Not sure how or why, but my first impression is this is one of those kind of records. Maybe it is just the diversity and richness to the recording start to finish. 15 quality tracks is a lot to take in with just a few listens.

Looking forward to more "QT" (quality time) with Celluloid.

I just heard a few seconds of Arabic on NPR (National Public Radio) this morning!

I really dig this CD!

I agree with all of this. Great record.

2 tracks on NPR Morning Edition today, how great is that, ouch

I've been playing this CD a LOT for many months now. Many times with my wife around, too, and I generally try not to play too much music around her since she can't quite take as much of it as I can. But on Saturday she asked me to put this CD on her iPod!!! Well, I honestly can't remember the last time that's happened, it's probably been years. So, Bevel Emboss, you get my wife's highly selective thumbs up! NICELY DONE!

I have to agree!! A little while back, I went on a tear grabbing a bunch of music on my "get list" and this was among the releases I bought. It is just magnificent! Really incredible musicianship, nice song choice (with "Rocky Miller" being the sole and consistent skip track for me) with a whole variety of great sounds and approaches to the concept. I really love it, and I'm so glad that Danny posted about it and turned me on to it.

That's fun, Rocky Miller is the skiptrack here as well
