CD Reviews

Okay, i'll write the english language review.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"southern wisconsin is beautiful country. lots of scenic hills and pasture land. i recommend you drive through it if you haven't. mostly folks of german and scandinavian descent out there. cheese. beer. that's what you expect, and that's what you can look forward to. not exactly a hotbed for recording studios back in the late 50's/early 60's. but it seems that a fella named jim kirchstein set up shop somewhere around madison back in the day, and that many a young man with dreams of stardom stuck in his head made way to kirchstein's studio. what you have here is the 1st of 3 volumes that document those recordings. "elemental," is an all instrumental bash of guitars and saxophones that show, while wisconsin is a bit off from the ocean, the youngsters there were definitely aware of the wonders of what was then known as "surf music." this is a very fun collection of groups that aspired to making hits like the chantays "pipeline," or the surfaris "wipe out." and check out track one here: "scalping party." no political correctness back in '62. listen and you will know what i mean. 28 tracks in all, covering the years 1959-1965. many excellent guitar performances, too. highly recommended for enthusiasts of that era, or to folks with a love for music off the beaten path. thanks for hearing me out."
