9th Wave "Hurricane" 2000

9th Wave use a reggae soul and surf sense to create a unique vision of the waves. Stunningly good new material amidst a few tracks from earlier work. This release is much more adventurous than their earlier releases, and shows significant maturing as a band, both in writing and playing, as well as more complimentary production on the newer tracks. There's plenty of different sounds, from cowboy to reggae to surf, and not a dog in the lot. - Phil Dirt at Reverb CentralThe new millennium saw 9th Wave featured on three CD compilations in addition to being highlighted in numerous publications throughout the world. In the midst of a busy performance schedule, including two appearances at Sleazefest 2000, the band produced a third CD, Hurricane, the much-anticipated follow up to Surf Denial. Pursuing the diverse musical trajectory begun on the last album, the CD ventured through several styles of instrumental music including surf, spy, lounge, hot rod, sci-fi, exotica and western twang. - from:
