Lost Legends of Surf Guitar 1: Big Noise From ReviewI think of all the times I've run across what I call "The Lost Syndrome," ie compilations of lost music by forgotten bands. These compilations often consist of mediocre garage bands performing forgettable tunes, lost tracks by legendary bands who probably wish the songs could stay lost, or so-so live covers of classic tunes. There might be a track or two of gems, but the bulk of these collections are fool's gold!
However, you do come across the occasional exception.
The first volume of "Lost Legends of Surf Guitar" is the most amazing exception to the "Lost Syndrome." I'm a surf music admirer who is approaching the cusp of being a rabid surf music fanatic, and have heard other "Lost Surf Music" collections with tepid covers of Miserlou, Pipeline and the likes. This collection is such a stark contrast. Sundazed Studios have produced a clean sweep of 20 surf guitar tunes that are all excellent!
You see a few familar names like The Pyramids, The Centurions, and The Original Surfaris ("original" as compared to The Surfaris that surf music aficionados are familiar with---the CD's liner notes give a brief explanation of the legal battle between two bands who used the same name). But the most surprising treasures are the way-rad tunes by obscure groups who are forgotten by all but the ultra-surf fanaticos!
The tune that stole me is "The Jester" by...The Jesters! The Jesters begin the tune with a cackling giggle ala "Wipe-Out" before going into an exotic guitar tune that has mix of melody and that "Super-Sleuth" mood that you would hear in surf classics like "Mr. Moto."
You really get a fantastic variety of songs here from the Halloween essence of "Cemetary Stomp" by "The Essex" to the peppy "El Gato" by The Chandelle's to The Royal Coachmen's moody "Repeating." The sharp sound quality on these tunes is every bit as surprising as the quality of the music itself!
While I would like to sum up "Lost Legends" with an articulate conclusion, the only way I can do it justice is to exclaim "BUY THIS CD!" Seriously, this is absolutely the finest compilation of surf music I have ever seen, and I cannot remember the last time I was this pleasantly surprised to find an exception to "Lost Syndrome!" The producers of this album get my highest fanboy salute!
