About This: The second album! More great songs from one of surfdom's most original bands. Unfortunately, they were unable to get the engineer to go beyond a demo sound, so that ultra rich sound from the last album is missing. The songs are still great, just not pushed to thedge by that lush sound.
As before, there area coupe of cool vocals among the intro magic. "Bella Ciao" is a bouncing number with Oriko singing in Japanese, Miyaji sings accompanied by Oriko in Japanese, Oriko's pussy cat "Ob La La," which borrows a few lines from "In The Mood," "Beach (intro)" is a soundscape from the beach, and "Jawaiian Beauty," which is a slow and romantic song with a German tale that reminds me a lot of song of Kraan's early work.
Picks: Flying Kota On The Frisbee, Etona, Freedom For Jawaii, Sucuba, Secret Spot, Jii San Baa San, Tiki Hell, Aonori, Le Ciel Bleu, Gifu Jam, Sugoina (Reverb Central)
