The Beat Tornados "Pole Position" 1998

I don’t know what it is about Scandinavia, but it sure as hell produces great surf music; Finnland has Laika And The Cosmonauts and The Hypnomen, Sweden has Langhorns and Norway has The Beat Tornados.
New band, new CD, and many fresh ideas. This may only contain 8 tracks, but they are great tracks! Another exceptional Norse band confronts the shores of surf with their own interpretations. Excellent playing and sound, and solid track selections. Only three originals, three traditional Norse covers, and a pair of well morphed European tracks. - Phil Dirt / Reverb Central
The Beat Tornados:
Bjørn Haglund, guitar, theremin - Jørn Raknes, guitar, lap steel, mellophon - Jussi Twist, drums - Geir Emanuelsen, bass, Vidar I. Ersfjord, keyboards, trombone, euphonium

trax:
1. Oppå Fjellet 2. Throttleman 3. Pole Position 4. El Nino 5. Kon Tiki 6. Piken I Dalen 7. Reinlender 8. The Cruel Sea
