Surf music did it again- the remake of the great rock opera in a 'surfy' interpretation

notes

"what's impressive about this production is how well a good surf band can sound when applying its talent to a tune with a strong melody. They're all done very well. A double cd that all surf instro fans should not be without!

  • Highly recommended!
    author: Steven Anderson, Scotland.

    This is a superb album. Surf guitar reworkings of the Lloyd-Webber musical that actually improve on the original score. Highly recommended!

  • What a cool concept!

    What a cool concept! Andrew Lloyd Webber's controversial rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar goes to the beach - mostly. 21 instrumentals and a handful of interesting vocals. Most of the instros are surf. The whole package is well done. Vocal tracks on this amazing CD include a delightful faux-pomp performance of "Strange Things Mystifying" by Prawns With Horns, the traditional surf backtracked "Simon Zeabotas" from Pipelines, the heavy garage fuzz and organ pound of Babyshaker's "Damned For All Time / Blood Money," the dry edged power of "The Arrest" from the HiFi Ramblers, and the Texas heavy fuzz of Johnny Vortex's "Juda's Death."

  • One of the best tributes!!!

    A great tribute to one of the classic musicals. I didn't believe surf/garage would work, but it is phenomenal!!!
