He tames those skins and lays down a rock-solid beat for the rest
of the band to follow. The rest of the instrumentation is also outstanding.
Everything holds up quite well throughout the entire listen. I found it to be
sonically pleasing and the production superb.
"Casino” is a Hawaiian delight, complete with vocals in the
native tongue —a unique and intriguing element that adds to the album's
diversity. I must say that this was a treat, as I have never heard a surf song
done this way.
"Hawaii Five-O" takes on a new meaning with
"Martini Five-O", their ode to the lounge sound.
You know what impressed me? David Pascal, the owner of the label,
dealt with me. What a class act. It's no wonder the Blue Hawaiians are, too! Undoubtedly
one of the best releases of '99. Beautiful music.
