IMHO, possibly the greatest surf revival album ever, and this reissue does it justice in every possible way. I'll write more about it soon. — 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

Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4537 Wisconsin	Posted on Aug 28 2017 05:41 AM Update: Had an email waiting for me this morning from Musick (thanks Art!!!). He can work around this by sending an invoice that can then be paid via PP. Apparently it's a Bandcamp glitch. As Jeff mentioned, just contact him at the email address above. UPDATE: And worth every moment waiting. Ivan is right; this album is so good it hurts. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

medic Joined: Jul 25, 2009 Posts: 2	Posted on Aug 31 2017 12:09 PM Many fans here count the band to their all time favs, it's widely known how good The Fathoms are. But I always wondered if the scene really sees how good, how essential the work of this band is (and if Frankie Blandino has any idea of what he and the guys achieved...if you read his posts you might think he doesn't). To me Fathomless and Overboard are not only the best third wave records but the best recordings in the genre, so far away from everything that it is almost ridiculous. No review/details needed...many people here know what I mean (this depth!! the atmosphere!! this ensemble!!!). Frankie Blandino himself said on this forum that the first lineup was magic and that nails it. Btw, while I'm praising the first two releases I want to make clear that I also really love Fathom This! and the band with it's current cast. He also said he wishes he could recreate whatever it was that made Fathomless what it became. What the hell...so let's summarize that this pure magic is history, in any meaning. And this is where the reissue of Fathomless comes into play: the first three of the bonus tracks are from that time '96 - '98 (Frantic Antic/Koolerator/Big Sky) and I'm completely BLOWN AWAY by them as they are so great tracks that totally fit into Fathomless/Overboard as a unit. The magis has returned for almost ten minutes, thanks for that! Top

That was actually the first Fathoms album I picked up & was blown away, simply for the musicianship, then the material, then the thing was looping in the house for days... — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
