The title track sets the tone, starting things off on the right foot with a trademark shimmering desert journey through instrumental music. It draws influences from surf, spy, Middle Eastern, spaghetti western, and rock genres. Of course, it’s complete with twang and reverb.
“Holly Tiki” is just over two minutes long. The group rips through a successive progression of guitar chords in that short period, giving you the typically compact, high-energy intro song.
“Summer at Dreampoint” really says what this group is about without a single word. It’s a picturesque adventure, taking you on a summertime ride through the scenery of your choice. It’s an absolute classic.
Music like this has a prevailing impact. It will leave a lasting impression on your consciousness. Instrumental music is for those who enjoy having their intellect stimulated. This music will shake out those cobwebs and revitalize your mind quickly.
Hailing from the Bay Area, the group has the advantage of dipping into a diverse musical melting pot. Having a wide range of resources to help along the creative process and initiate ideas never hurts. They do a dynamite job utilizing every musical genre to shape and mold the music that becomes all their own. It’s pure instrumental bliss.
