ALoha!
i would like to do a humble apport to this interesting thread.
there´s a lot of "Non Surf" stuff that i like that has been mentioned in here
so rename them would be futile.
So let me mention a band that although has some surf spots it´s mostly the kind of 60´sTVserialsoudtrack stuff that was called EUROBOYS and are
from Norway . I must say their debut album JET AGE i find reaaaaaally amazing.I Think one of them played guitar in TURBONEGRO, a pretty-well known band from that coutnry.
and you can find @ http://www.myspace.com/kareandthecavemen
you´ll find the answer to the change of name there....hahaha
and there is a band from Mexico that we played with a couple
of years ago that really dig live called TWIN TONES that plays a
strange kind of mix between Ennio Moriccone(THAT´S MY STUFF;THAT MOVIES) & surf rock + Rockabilly played at a 100 mph.Their cd was sold in a DVD box with a
cover like a Spaghetti western movie that was awesome!
you can find it at http://www.myspace.com/twintones
check them out enjoy!
Surf on!

I'm pretty obsessed with 60s spy soundtracks and exploitation cash-ins. Aside from that, the usual suspects - eleki, Link Wray, Davie Allan, the Japanese fuzz-punk instro bands that got some recent discussion in the "What'd you buy recently" thread, etc.

Oh, and especially The Ventures. Stir the Pot

I really like that album - I'd been a huge fan of surf for a few years and a huge fan of Turbonegro for a few years when I heard Knut Schreiner had a previous band. I bought the album without having heard any of it and my jaw hit the floor. Never thought there'd be a connection there, that's for sure. Great artwork, too.

Some of their later stuff is cool, but it's way more 70s lite-psych.

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

Let's not forget the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack.

Bands like Calexico and Friends of DM certainly top my list. Can vouch for the melting effect FofDM has on the wormens. I also like the Aqua Velvets.

2012-2013: FILTHY POLAROIDS

Combustible Edison were pretty cool, although technically they had a singer, they did a lot of instros too.

I'd almost forgotten there is such a thing as non-surf, instrumental music! Long time favorites include Al Di Meola's "Casino" and Jade Warrior's "Floating World".

Exotica, The Ventures, eleki, Brit instro, fuzz instro, spaghetti, spy, Italian movie soundtracks, rock'n'roll instro.

I just got that Mganga cd, but haven't listened to it yet.
I have that Surfmen LP and the other one, I use both of them to play while djing, need to break them out for a listen at home.
I've heard that White Goddess is really good,
I need a cdr of that bad.
and I like that Eden Ahbez a lot too,
some pass it off because he was kooky, but its good stuff.

One of my all time favs. The Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire are incredible!
