Details:
This compact disc is the sequel to the 2005 Cordelia Records release âBeyond the Seaâ. The concept behind that CD was to revive a tradition that existed in the 1960s for guitar instrumental bands, The Ventures would be a prime example, to record cover versions of contemporary hit records. Due to the wonders of modern technology it was easy to get the word round about the project on internet discussion groups, such as Reverborama and Cowabunga, and a fine collection of high quality recordings by bands from all over the world was assembled. For this sequel, in order to bring the concept slightly more up to date, the rules were tightened up in that contributions had to be surf instrumental cover versions of hit records that dated from no earlier than 1990. This rule was occasionally treated like an eccentric clergyman wearing a strange crumpled suit at a pool party, but it sat quietly in a corner with itâs face covered by a newspaper and stoically did itâs job.

Many potential contributors found the rule to be a difficult challenge. Some of them refuse to acknowledge that any music has been recorded since 1962, and some of them disapprove of messing with the surf instrumental formula and are prepared to type in capital letters to defend it. However the following bands were fearlessly open-minded and recklessly packed the Land Rover of surf music with the dynamite of experimentation and drove it at full speed into the electrical goods store of the last eighteen years; which is hardly anything at all in geologiocal terms and the equivalent of about an hour and a half in surf instrumentals terms.
