Album Notes & Community Reviews

Sparking a major career renaissance just prior to his feature in 'Pulp Fiction', the undisputed King of the Surf Guitar returns with this ferociously energetic comeback album. Blending his blindingly fast, staccato picking style with heavy, tribal drum rhythms and Middle Eastern scales, the record proves his incendiary instrumental attack remained completely undiminished.
