Title: Surf Muzak
Review: There is a reason this CD is priced as it is. I originally purchased this CD several months ago and didn't like it so it went to the bottom of the pile. Have decided to give it another chance. It didn't get any better. The structure of the melodies may be correct but they are played in a lifeless manner. Wipe Out, Pipeline, Hawaii-5-0, and Apache are particularly weak. Walk Don't Run Sounds as though it is played 1/2 beat to slow. I kept wanting to speed it up. Listen for yourself and you will see what I mean. The single star is because it sounds like the recording of "Tequilla" is the original. It has some life!Better choices would be to search for a named group such as Challengers, or The Ventures, then follow the links to what others have bought. Dick Dale is a good starting place for a high adrenaline sound in this kind of music. Listen before you buy. If you think this is as good as it gets you are selling yourself short. At least I got a good recording of "Tequilla."
