WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF IT (reviews and so on...)
"This should be well-received by surf fanatics around the world; all the essential ingredients are here - lotsa reverb, clever tunes, tight arrangements and solid playing throughout. Good job!" Paul Johnson - Belairs, Surfaris (www.pjmoto.com)
"Made in Antigua truly rocks! The songs are unique and original and masterfully played by a band that really understands surf music. I recommend this album!" Danny Amis aka Daddy-O Grande (www.daddyogrande.com)
"I've listened to the new CD several times. Nice job and something all of you can be proud of. I like "Kawaramachi" and, even more, "Hurricane Season". Anybody who loves drippy, reverbed guitar will enjoy the album." John Blair - Jon & The Nightriders, Eliminators
"What can I say abou the new CD from the Wadadli Riders? They may be from the Caribbean but their style of surf music is like taking off on a glassy ten foot wave at the Huntington Beach Pier. Each song is like screaming across the face of a mammoth wave locked in the curl. You can feel the spray in your face listening to this CD. If you want instrumental surf, this is the real deal." Tim Ferrill - Eliminators' management
"Made In Antigua is a splendid release from Wadadli Riders, the only surfband in Antigua. There are a number of really superb tracks here. The sound is very traditional, but the melodies are influenced by the locale. Wonderful." Phil Dirt - ReverbCentral.com (check out the review track by track)
"I've been listening to this CD all week, and enjoy it more on each spin. It is like an early 1960's release with great playing, and great sound! Lorenzo and Niki pay tribute to a lot of great players on this record while making it sound totally fresh. Highly recommended." Rev Hank - Urban Surf Kings
"(...) The first title Dwell At 10 is a big clue, and the reverb control must indeed have been set to max as this is a great surf blast with a melody to match. With its cascading runs and tremoloed chords it harks back to the best of the vintage surf classics and is the album's 'hit single'. With similar ingredients JBL D-130F does come close, but the rest of the tracks were never going to match it. However, they all have plenty of that great guitar sound and are well up to standard album fare. The Killer Wave and Hurricane Season bubble away neatly, Calm Before A Storm has a mellow start before launching into a blizzard of double-picking and there's a gently surf ballad to close with in Going My Wave." Alan Taylor - Pipeline Instrumental Review N. 81
About SURF MUSIC KINGS OF THE CARIBBEAN - EP 2008
Phil Dirt's (ReverbCentral.com) review of "Surf Music Kings Of The Caribbean" Well now, this is one cool release. If you are a fan of the Surfites, you'll love this. Not that it sounds like them, but the sense of playful melody and arranging is similarly strong. very good writing, and nicely produced sound. I can't wait for a whole album!
Total vote: **** (4 stars on 5)
Hurricane Season (*****): A rippin' double picked opening brings forth a very cool number with muted surf rhythm and a sparkling melody. "Hurricane Season" is a really cool track with an infectious sound. Adventure, optimism, and style! Solid bass and great drums support the guitar work.
Tetsuwan Atomu (****): Distant drums and a howling tape echo play havoc on the peaceful waters. "Tetsuwan Atomu" starts off with a noisy attack, and ends up with a great melody and rhythmic surf charm. A very nice track!
Brown Recluse (****): "Brown Recluse" uses a tastefully employed melody riff to carry of its charm, but it's the cool chords that come out of the unexpected silences that really hook you. Lot's of spunk and charm, and plenty of listening pleasure. The muted dripping notes are just too cool!
