Rip Off! is a statement that's heard loud and
clear. It is heard through the intensity of the music and the sincere and
truthful liner notes provided by King Koen. I concur with the thoughts
expressed in the enlightening commentary.
There is plenty of high gloss,
overproduced crap that is making millions right now. If you are getting sucked
into the mainstream and haven't had a good reality check lately, wake up!
Don't
drown in the sea of pretty faces of talent created by technology and
advertisements. They want you to buy into their plastic world (i.e., "Two
Minutes To Rip You Off"). This is not a factor when listening to a
powerful platter of super-charged surf-instro like Thee Andrews Surfers
provide.
This raw and exciting session of
surf-instro by Thee Andrews Surfers is a testament to their spontaneity and
originality. Their music covers most of the sub-genres, providing a perfect
variety. A few cleverly created sounds are born from this spontaneity and creativity.
They breathe new life into forties standards within the instro realm. The
elements of surf, instro, garage, trash, and punk are all woven into this
driven and invigorating source of musical delight, making it a must-listen for
any music enthusiast.
It was nice to hear something new
and fresh. The harmonica is used in place of the usual organ or saxophone,
which makes this a new and refreshing experience. The extreme varieties are a
joy to hear when the group can use more than one influence within a song. This works
for me. This is a great CD; get it.
