I'm slowly beginning to get into surf music big time. Well, it seems I have been for some time, I just didn't now it.
I've always been a fan of evocative instrumental music with an eerie undertone, one of my first experiences was from old Lucas Arts adventure games (Okay, so not strictly instrumental, you catch my drift though).
Hearing the first few notes of the Monkey Island theme, or even better, some of the background music from Sam & Max Hit the Road, can still send shivers down my spine.
While browsing Last.FM, i stumbled across a very unknown band from south america, Os Pazuzus (the sloths, or so I am informed) with a most delightful twang to their sound, redolent of beaches, waves, and a bright sun shining down on you. Only on Mars, and the aliens are coming in fast on their boards.
They only ever made a demo CD apparently, which they have kindly made available online. Check out the Twilight Zone in the blogroll for more of the same. Oh yeah.
