"I was browsing in the Virgin Megastore on Sunset one night when I heard this really great music playing on the store system, I asked the salesperson what it was and . . . you guessed it . . . it was "The Aqua Velvets" by the Aqua Velvets. I bought a copy and I'm glad I did. Don't take my word for it, just download the clips from Amazon and listen for yourself.



The CD is all instrumental "surf guitar" and it's really good, I particularly like "Blue Rhumba" and "Swampabilly Hop". This is a great CD to listen to when you are driving, especially the Ventura between Thousand Oaks and Studio City around three in the morning (speedy). The only problem is that I occasionally have flashbacks that I'm on the set of "Beach Blanket Bingo" with Annette and Frankie while I'm listening to it.

"Being both a surfer and a musician this album really speaks to me. It's one of those rare cds you can just put in your player and let run through the entire course. The driving lines in Swampabilly Hop really feel like what it is like to be out paddling through the surf. If you're into surf music at all this is definatly one for your collection."
