Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
This is a sort of lounge spy jazz interpretation of Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn." Slightly edgy sax, relentless Gunn progression on piano and bass above the thud of the kick drum. It's kind of hypnotic, but in the end its differences and originality carry it off.
Surf (Instrumental)
A murky glissando and stereo tremolo shimmer create the right mood, but the keys carrying he melody are strange at best. It seems like "Pipeline" lost. Spooky, interesting, but not enduring really.
