Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on May 31 2007 08:22 AM I finally got my copy of "Fathomless." After giving it a couple of listens I still think "Overboard" is my favorite, but time a few more listens will tell. I absolutely love his drip. — The Mystery Men?

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19303 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on May 31 2007 08:26 AM Frankie has reverb to die for, for sure, but he also has this amazingly nuanced and gifted touch on the guitar AND he cranks out one killer song after the other. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on May 31 2007 08:58 AM Richard I finally got my copy of "Fathomless." After giving it a couple of listens I still think "Overboard" is my favorite, but time a few more listens will tell. I absolutely love his drip. Richard, for my money, I prefer Fathomless (though there are some amazing songs on Overboard, but it's inconsistent). Here's the best of Fathomless (IMHO, of course): Fathomless - a modern surf classic Riptide - a moody-but-powerful middle-eastern outing with amazing tenor sax Five Fathoms Deep - see Fathomless; guitar trading-off on verses is genius Getaway Car - supremely dynamic with melody and arrangement to die for Incognito - spy, baby, spy! Shadow Of A Doubt - a gorgeous ballad, a bit Shadows-influenced I think these six songs really make this album, but all the rest are really amazing, too. (Well, Night Scene with the sax lead doesn't do that much for me.) anyway, check out those six first to get a toehold on the album, and then the brilliance of the album can be revealed to you more easily.

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on May 31 2007 08:49 PM Brian There should be a law about not being able to play Getaway Car while driving. A lot of songs fall into that category. I sense a shallow end thread. Top

Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Jun 05 2007 06:13 PM Gave Fathomless it's third spin today, Ivan, don't worry... I paid out the nose for my copy on half.com - $30 plus shipping. I watched another copy go for $40 on eBay. I've found that when it comes to out-of-print CD's that you even THINK you might want, go ahead and buy them if you can. I've put off buying stuff for years only to have it go out of print; then I wind up paying two to three times more for it. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top
