I also ditto DP's sentiments, Ivan.
Getting back to part 1: Ivan and I have discussed this before
privately, but it took me a great deal of time to like The
Lunatics "Tour de Monde". It wasn't easy for me. They have a
very "prog" feel to me; at times I thought I was listening to a jazz
combo. The guitar tones are very dry; bone dry. Sometimes a bit too
sterile if you ask me. 'Continental Drift' is probably my favorite
song from that album, it has lots of mood. But I agree about their
chops and playing abilities; they are very impressive! Just don't
expect the Astronauts when you buy it. I'm making this sound worse
than it is though. If you like modern or Euro sounding surf, then
you will probably really dig this album.
I couldn't agree more about The Beat Tornados, though. "Mission To
Mir" is really amazing. I emailed the band and invited them over to
this list. No word on that, but they did send me a 4 track promo
copy of their "Scandanavian Interlude". As Ivan said, this is great
stuff, and I'm also looking to buy the full length version.
