Always in their own space, Pavlov's Woody have done it again. They Came From Beneath The Surf is a very enjoyable surf CD that's well suited for traveling (plays nicely in the car), and for focused listening as well. Excellent arranging, superb use of piano, and great playing all around.
Frantic modernized yet retro surf guitar instrumentals as Mozart might play today on electric guitar. Smoother and fuller guitar tones than previous version 1. Songs vary widely yet all show intense energy and motion. "I was thrilled by the first version, but the second is even more rockin’ and the guitars gallop. Everything on this album is a keeper, what a great time for fans of rockin' surf!" – Bernard Boyat, "Cry of the Coyote" CD Review magazine. They gave it a "Cry of the Heart Award" with highest rating. "Whimsical Surf Version 2 is good old-fashioned party time fun. Everything from the music to the artwork is a gas…guaranteed to put a smile on anybody's face." – SurfRockMusic.com

On this CD you get the cream of five great Surf bands. Del-Fi artists the Sentinals, the Impacts, the Centurions, the Lively Ones and Dave Myers and the Surftones. These bands were some of the best and most faithful to the instrumental Surf music genre. These guys played awesome Surf music, but were mostly not well-known! So this disc is a real find for the Surf fan who has lots of Ventures, Surfaris and Dick Dale and is looking for something a bit more pure and exotic.
This is a totally traditional surf instrumental cd. If you like trad-surf, this is a must for your collection. There's not a dud tune on the whole disc. Nineteen songs, all original, all cool, all instrumental…what more could you want? ~ R.Davey
The Surf Raiders were among the few bands who were considered the originators of the surf music revival. The members were Robert Dalley, lead guitar, Neal Kuzee, guitars, Loyd Davis, bass, Linda Dalley, keyboards and Dave Rodriguez, drums. Eventually Neal retired and was replaced by Tom Moncrief. This was the core of the group until 1989, when the group disbanded.
put this in your player and rock on the water. the genuine sound of surf, with both studio and live tracks. everything is strong and in the classic reverby or fuzzy surf style. maybe could have done without the warhorses 'walk don't run' and 'pipeline' and 'runaway', but the rest is original and of the first water and even the few oldies are done up fine if you want to hear them again…
Martin Cilia is an Australian musician. Cilia is best known for his songwriting skills, and his membership in The Atlantics, where he performs on the guitar. "For this latest release I wanted to make an album that reflects the history of electric instrumental guitar – one that resonates from the early 60s instro/surf sound, but with a modern twist. It was all recorded the old way – real guitars, amps, microphones and with minimum digital interference. While putting the album together I came across an old multi track tape of a song that Atlantics drummer extraordinaire, Peter Hood, and myself were working on. I had a listen and decided to finish it off. The drum track was so good and had so much of Peter’s energy. That song is Terminator. You’ll know it when you get to it! Being a fan and growing up with this style of guitar music it was a pleasure to write and record these new songs. Basically I wanted to make an album of great songs with great sounds. I hope I achieved that."
