Could it be the one new song from the new double cd best of?

Jeff, which double cd best of is that? I have the "Gold" CD, which I believe is what they were selling two weeks ago, but that's a single CD, and it has no new songs. I thought that was their most recent release?

The Surf Coasters mentioned their new 20th Anniversary Anthology release during the convention. It is available in japan through amazon or itunes I think.

Oh! I totally missed that one! Too bad they didn't have it for sale in SoCal. So, there are some new songs on there?

In the thread that Ferenc mentioned the double cd,
He said something about legally not being able to sell it in the USA.
Hence that's why we were mentioning on stage to get it from
Amazon japan, or download from iTunes.
There is 1 new song. A few live, a few demos.

Luckily I was able to get a promo copy that Masa had given to Lorenzo,
He said he doesn't have a CD player anymore.
Wtf????

CD is dead. Buy vinyls.
But yes, I confirm that Surf Coasters cannot export their records. I asked for the store. Anyway, as I am Italian always finding a way to do things, I will also find a way to get their records soon

Actually it's strange that there isn't an Atlantics tribute album around already. I mean there were instro tribute comps for Dick Dale, Link Wray, the Ventures, the Shadows (several!), Shadowy Man on a Shadowy Planet, the failed Richie Podolor tribute and even projects with looser connections to surf music like the CDs with music by Ennio Morricone, Frank Zappa, Henry Macini, Burt Bacharach or Jesus Christ Superstar done by surfbands.

Seems to me like an Atlantics tribute is long overdue...

Oh, I think there is no Atlantics tribute CD needed. Ivan and the other guys did a peeeeeerfect great job playing tese Atlantics songs live. AND Ivan did already a few of the best Atlantics songs on CD`s! So why should a complete Atlantics tribute needed? The songs can not get better.

BUT what I think: To all Surf (and other) musicians worldwide: Try to compose OWN songs that sound like a killer old Atlantics tune! Get this kind of raw energy and find a catchy killer melody and record it! This makes more sense for me.
I am working on a new song which hopefully gets in the feeling and mood of "Shark attack" or "War of the worlds" or something. It is not easy to reach the quality of an old Atlantics song of course. …maybe impossible… BUT: People, come on, let`s try it! Get you strymon El Capistan for example, your VOX AC30 and a ……..Jazzmaster …or any other elctric guitar… and go go go!!!

Twang cheers!

Thanks very much, Ralf, that's very nice of you to say! Yes, in the Cossacks we recorded four Atlantics track, and with the Madeira three (with one more coming on our next album next year). Maybe a bit too much? But man, I do love that stuff!

That's GREAT advice, Ralf! I completely agree. I've done that with both of my bands, too. And a bunch of other people have done it, too - immediately coming to mind are Aqualads' "Atlanticus" and the TomorrowMen's "Phistful of Photons"

I am working on a new song which hopefully gets in the feeling and mood of "Shark attack" or "War of the worlds" or something.

You had some on Mundaka Calls, too! The title track and Jaws, if I remember correctly, both really cool tracks!

Yeah.... stay away from Jazzmasters, but I agree with everything else! (Though, don't forget that most of the Atlantics classic songs were recorded with the lead guitar playing through a '62 Fender Bandmaster with a 12" tone-ring cab - an AC-30 is not required.)
