If you fancy a little bit of spaghetti-western, you've got to check out
The Hellbenders - Today we kill, tomorrow we die. The instrumental parts on that album is amazing.
The new album from Lost Acapulco is also a great record.
But my personal favourite must be The Madeira - Carpe Noctem (El Flaco still gives me the chills!) That album is one of the main reasons I started to play surf myself, and if you haven't heard it, you've got to check it out

Well, thank you very much, Golden!! We greatly appreciate it.
BTW, you might be pleased to know that El Flaco was originally done by Reider & the Quintones, your neighbors from Sweden! (See more about them here.)

Thanks a lot for the link. I did not know that, so thank you for the enlightenment. And concerning the "Carpe Noctem" album, I'm the one who's grateful. After all, The Madeira opened my eyes (and ears) for the wet dripping reverb sounds of surf

Good stuff for sure.

I know I'll probably get laughed at for this because
a) this is my fist post to SG101 and
b) recommending this Starbucks comp 
Released in 2007 and like all disposable Starbucks cds a limited release. But its also a Rhino release and I think they did an overall good job with the selection, liner notes and the whole package. Liked it so much I bought two copies 
Starbucks Entertainment and Rhino Records Presents... "Big Waves: Five Decades of Surf Rock. Features the tracks:
1. The Beach Boys - Surfin Safari
2. Dick Dale and His Del-Tones - Miserlou
3. Duane Eddy - Rebel Rouser
4. Jorgen Ingmann - Apache
5. The Sandals - Theme From "Endless Summer"
6. The Marketts - Out of Limits
7. The Ventures - Walk Don't Run
8. Jack Nitzsche - The Lonely Surfer
9. The Chantays - Pipeline
10. The Bel-Airs - Mr. Moto
11. The Lively Ones - Surf Rider
12. The Astronauts - Baja
13. The Aqua Velvets - Guitar Noir
14. Pollo Del Mar - A Flash of Green
15. The Vanduras - La PLanche
16. Laika & the Cosmonauts - N.Y. '79
17. The Mermen - Unto The Resplendent
18. The Blue Hawaiians - Martini Five-0

Reading this thread brought a couple of questions to mind. Can anyone suggest a comprehensive list of bands doing reverb drenched high energy Spaghetti Western and or Spy music?? ( No Morricone or original soundtrack bands)  Looking for modern bands doing this style.

At least one band comes to mind regarding the Spaghetti Western style, The Five Outsiders. Bought their cd last year and have played it numerous times over. Haven't heard any updates on them as to whether they're still together and playing or not, but nonetheless a great cd.

And as for Spy style music, I'm not overly familiar with many bands who do that solely (I know many will venture into that area for a song or two). But one that definitely is keeping with the Spy side of surf would be Spy-Fi
Be worth checking em out for sure.

There are a few who do, but to be honest none of them made much of an impression on me. For full albums, the best one is the Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. comp.
From the not-100%-surf category, The Ventures' Batman Theme album is killer and the Clee-Shays collection is pretty good, too.
There's a boatload of killer spy-themed songs from surf bands, but in almost every case the band only did one or two songs in that vein.

I agree on the Five Outsiders. DWM Music has it:

as does Amazon:

These 3 bands:
The TomorrowMen
The Space Cossacks
Los Straitjackets
These are the top 3 on my list.
Though I will probably never play at the level they all play at, whenever I listen to any of them, I just gotta pull the Strat down off the wall. I've learned tons about playing surf music just by listening to these groups.
