A Day On Cape Cod: Sunset Surf

Customer Reviews:

No seagulls is a plus... but it's a little dated........2006-03-14

This Cd is about 20 years old now and the recording sounds a bit thin, like rustling paper. I love that there aren't a whole bunch of squawking seagulls and that it's an "Atlantic" sounding beach, however. The market is flooded with big "Pacific" sounding ones in this genre. The price is ok, but all things considered, I like the Cape Cod Soundscapes series here better, and how each one is labeled with the individual beach.

Sunset Surf.......2006-02-24

This is a really relaxing CD. I felt like I was at the ocean listening to the water lapping up on the shore. It puts me to sleep every time. I especially liked the variety of the CD. It wasn't the same sound over and over again. You could even hear the seagulls every now and then. Wonderful!

One of the best surf CDs out there.......2001-12-28

I have a couple surf CD's, and most of the others suffer from either loud, obnoxious seagulls or pounding surf which reaches almost painful crescendos unless you turn the volume down to the point where you can't hear 50% of the CD. On this disc, there are virtually no bird sounds and the surf is a little more tame and level in the volume department. This is a definite keeper if you're looking for a relaxing environmental disc featuring the ocean.

Wonderful way to relax.......2000-06-11

This is one of the best of the surf sound CDs I've heard, and I've listened to several. Most of those that I've tried before have sounded a little too "menacing" unless kept low enough to make the waves seem further away. This recording has a much more gentle, relaxing afternoon-at-the-beach sound. One can almost feel the breezes and the warm setting sun. A pleasant way to wind down after a tense day.

Album Description

This collection by the Central Coast, CA combo who routinely pummeled the local competition in 'Battle of the Surf Bands' and was the Impacts' cross-town rivals before both signed to Del-Fi -- blends Latin melodies with slurpy, splashy reverb-drenched surf sounds. 'Latin'ia' solidified their place in surf rock history. This CD has everything the band recorded for Del-Fi including the albums Big Surf! and Surfer Girl.

ONE OF THE BEST SURF CDs YOU CAN BUY.......2006-11-04

At 27 tracks this is really a generous helping of Sentinals material, and they definitely were one of the most skilled of all the original surf bands in the early 60s. It should be noted too that this contains all the tracks from the "Surfer Girl" cd/lp (although in a different track-order), making that one mandatory only for collectors. "Sunset Beach" is the one to get, and the Del-Fi original issue is becoming very hard-to-find, especially the non cut-out copies!

The Sun Never Sets On The Sentinals!.......2004-04-05

The Sentinals formed in 1961 in San Luis Obispo, California. The original lineup consisted of Tommy Nunes on lead guitar, Peter Graham on rhythm guitar, Gary Winburne on bass guitar, Bobby Holmquist on saxophone and Johnny Barbata on drums. By the time the Sentinals recorded their two albums, Harry Sackrider took over on rhythm guitar, Kenny Hinkle took over on bass guitar and vocals, and Mike Olson joined on piano. This CD contains both of their albums, "Surf's Up!" (1963) and "Surfer Girl" (1964), plus a bonus track from the "KFWB Battle Of The Surf Bands" album. The opening instrumental features Johnny Barbata yelling "Big Surf!" at certain intervals, starting this collection off on a rocking note. "Latin'ia" is a very melodic instrumental with a distinctive Latin beat, and was a big hit on the West Coast. "Latin Soul" is more of a hard rocking instrumental, similar to "Latin'ia" in name only.

"Sunset Beach" is a mid-tempo instrumental featuring tasty guitar playing, while "Pismo Beach" is a hard rocker with the sax and guitar alternately playing the main melody. Their vocal version of the Isley Brothers' song "Shout" is performed at a breakneck pace. The early Beach Boys' song "Surfin'" is performed as a vocal with mixed results. Their version of the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl" is performed as an instrumental, opening with a Chuck Berry riff, to much better effect. "The Pipe" (as in pipeline) features rapid fire guitar playing, ably supported by outstanding sax and drums. "Vesuvius," the closing bonus track, is played so loud and fast that it just might blow out your speakers! By 1965 the Sentinals had called it quits. Johnny Barbata joined the Turtles in 1967, and later played drums with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and then Jefferson Starship! Mike Olson changed his name to Lee Michaels and had a hit with the song "Do You Know What I Mean" (#6 in 1971).
