5 out of 5 stars SURF MUSIC DONE RIGHT.......2006-11-01

It's amazing how a group that hadn't played together for over thirty years could put together a CD that is is so tight, melodic, beautiful and down right rockin'! This is just a great CD from beginning to end, if you like surf music, I guarantee you will love this CD.

5 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with the Vara-Tones!.......2006-06-22

I have a few hundred surf CDs and I would have to say thet this CD is my favorite! My next favorite is their new CD called "Headin' Out". They have the reverb and the composition that just makes all of the songs fantastic. If you like instrumental surf you will love this CD! Buy it you won't be sorry!

5 out of 5 stars For real !.......2004-12-17

These guys have been playing for a while and it shows. Odd though it may seem to talk about taste, restraint, and intelligence in surf music, they got it, bro. But even more trippy is that from time to time a certain feeling comes through that I thought had gone out of the world. But it hasn't.

Surf consciousness is an order of magnitude above ordinary consciousness. Buy this album. Go get pounded at the Wedge, come home, drain the water out of your head, put it on loud.

5 out of 5 stars bitchin !.......2000-10-20

If you like authentic surf-lover-composed surf (as opposed to novelty, space, or parody, half-jest surf) this izza great CD. These guys know how to set up the surf-reverb big guitar sound, play their instruments, AND compose authentic styled songs that range (in an admittedly limited genre) from driving, major-minor-chord power blowouts, to calm impressionist sunset-on-the-water knockouts. They've struck a clean balance of mood... sheer fun tinged with the surf-"sense of the numinous" mystical awe. If you're only gonna own one surf-genre CD and you're looking for the best one, this is probably it. If you love surf music, what excuse is there for not owning THIS sucker...? It's that good. Really.

Bill Epps and Rich Campbell formed The Vara-Tones in 1961. They are one of the original surf groups that were around when the first wave started. They were most active between '63-'65, during the height of the surf-instro craze. Over thirty years later they have returned as revitalized granddads of a genre that has been experiencing tremendous growth and renewed interest from all outlets of the media, including an entirely new and very hip fan base.

Yes, another group has risen out of the ashes to reclaim their territory. This is a wonderful time to be making music. The world has never been more open to new and different sounds. Although this sound is not new and familiar to some, it never really got the recognition and opportunity that its now experiencing. There is no one that deserves the accolades and fame more than the guys that were there in the beginning.

Listen up all you youngsters out there, want to play surf-instro the way it was meant to be played? The Vara-Tones hold a clinic for eager ears that are willing to learn. They have successfully re-ignited their original sound with the help of today's technologies and equipment. The base sound is still there, it just has a little more oomph now (as Phil Dirt says). The original hit "Repeto" (1964), has been given a shot of new life with an upbeat rockin' flavor and a new title, "Repeto 2000." You get the best of both worlds, as the group plays the original as well the updated version. Speaking of the best of both worlds...When many original surf groups reform and make their music combined with today's sound, it comes out sounding so much stronger, with a new fullness and freshness to it. What was once a mere ripple from a recording standpoint, is now a Tsunami headed your way to give you the ride of your life. It all sounds that much better now because of the enhanced and improved sound quality and sonics.

The latin, island flavored tunes are immensely effective. "El Sereno" and "Midnight In Mazatlan", are as picturesque and inviting as the beaches that are envisioned inside your head while listening. Welcome back Vera-Tones. The surf-instro community needs more groups like you to reform and to remind people from whence they came.

Fair warning- if you have a surfboard in hand, and if this music is played loud, the jetty is subject to high surf.

      "Downtempo and chill are definitely highly placed among the current grooves of choice for international spinmeisters. Rarely have the sounds of both been so well epitomized as on this premier release from Lax Recordings. This compilation of original tunes favors the after-party after-glow with perfectly placed elements of soul, ambient electronic vibes, spacious funk and deep dubby house. Transporting you from the floor onto the couch in one easy move, both the selection of material and quality of production bodes very well for this fledgling Los Angeles-based label. Plus, it serves as a useful tool for the post-party recovery program." - Chrissie Wilson - GrooveRadio.com

            Maybe I'm biased. Spiral Jetty basically "grew-up" in my back-yard at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. Aside from following their other preceding independent releases, I saw these fellows several times. Each time I play their recordings or remember their live performances, I am reminded of the injustices found in the music industry and of the industry's inability to promote exciting, worthwhile and challenging artists. This (mainly) trio are superstars to me! They are able to create musical landscapes that grab your attention and blow you away. Band Of Gold was their fourth and final release. It showed a maturity but still kept true to their powerful, original sound. If you like sonicly swirling bands like Nirvana and Thin White Rope, you'd be foolish not to even sample the tracks made available here. Spiral Jetty rule...then and now!

            3 out of 5 stars this is the reason you've never heard of Spiral Jetty.......1999-05-19

            The reason you've never heard of Spiral Jetty (unless you're a hippie, or a fan of Led Zeppelin's tour entourage of the mid-70's, or both) is this rather pathetic Talking Heads-esque jumble of staccato verses and choruses. The vocalist leaves practically everything to be desired. The basslines are jumpy yet frolickingly upbeat and the guitarist is now a lecturer in English. I guess there's nothing essentially wrong with BAND OF GOLD, but then again, there's nothing essentially right about it either. I'll admit that a few of the tunes did get my foot tapping, but I won't tell you why.
