Title: cold surf
Review: Surf music from Montreal? - though surf is hard to find on the St Lawrence, the music is none the worse for it. This CD contains 33 tracks of classic surf sound of the highest quality. Whilst perhaps lacking the more innovative element of some recent California surf rock bands such as the Aqua Velvets, the Mel-Tones have clearly internalised the genre to the extent that I would say if you buy just one surf music CD, this has to be the one. Apart from anything else, with this number of tracks it is excellent value for money with each track worth a listen. In fact you wonder why the Mel-Tones did not issue it as two CDs. Perhaps they thought this was their only chance and we benefit from their efforts to give it their all.
Is the review positive or negative?
