"Surf Me Up" / Today's Surfers - 2008 CD 3 of 3

Excellent surf music boxset, conceived, an that is unusual, by a French critic, Alain Gardinier……And he did a good job. The first CD includes surf classics from the 60s, with the obvious choices and some not so obvious. The second CD covers from the 70s to the 90s; the sound is mostly the same, with some harder guitar play. And the 3rd CD covers "today's artists/surfers" (because some surfers do music), with a great variety of styles which mostly do not relate to the classic surf sound. The interesting booklet is both in French and English, the cover painting by a Biarritz artist, François Lartigau (Biarritz is France's surf capital city). I might write something more consistent after further listenings. - chrismass61
