The SG Sound : The Pleasure Center

So casual, yet nasty. Mid 60s-inspired groovy go-go cinema space spy surf with a twist. Add snappy horns, twangy guitars, driving rhythms - mix briskly and serve. 45 year-old hispanic men and the italians go wild for it.

Album Notes

Heavily influenced by go-go, twist, surf, spy, lounge, TV underscore, and soul music of the mid-to-late 1960's, The SG Sound might be described by some as "retro," but to do so would ignore the many unexpected flavors that permeate this aperitif. Consider the typical backbone elements of the SG orchestra: Drums, Horns, Guitars, Mallets, Bass. These boys got moxie and when they drive they drive hard. Sometimes, they get downright zombified in a go-go trance. Like Jekyll and Hyde, they can be your playful, jazzy best friend one minute and turn cruel and unusual the next.

When properly harnessed, however, this volatility serves to make The SG Sound uniquely flexible. Whether you're taking a lighthearted dip in your Palm Springs grotto or plotting to knock over Fort Knox, the discerning audiophile knows that The SG Sound makes every activity and environment more vivid.

In your Hi-Fi collection, file under: Hooks, Poolside, Stereo Test, Atom Smash, Ejector Seat, Plastics.

Physicians’ Warning:
May induce the twist response.

Just picked this up a couple of week ago and the artist decription really paints an accurate picture. This CD is spot on for groovy 60's songs that fill the soul with sassy (and brassy) sounds. The musicians, the production, all come together to make this little disc a treasure.
