With this release, the opposite is true. The songs take a new life of their own and the end result is a genuine treasure. I've bought my share of instro tributes, but this one is better than all.
The reason? I have to guess that it's got a lot to do with The Shadowy Men's status as one of the forefathers of the third wave of Surf Instro, and being a seminal band in both the US and Canada.
Don't miss out on this one. A++ all the way.

I'm the guitar player from the Dead Barons, the band doing Zombie Compromise on track 2. All these years later it's great to hear the album is liked. Cheers.
Thanks, Vincent. It is always gratifying to hear from the members of the bands whose music I admire and love. You guys (and gals)put your heart and soul into this and we want you to know how much your efforts are appreciated. We are a small but very dedicated - even fanatical audience. Can't get enough of the stuff.
Cheers

Great stuff George. I'm new to the Lounge. Aside from the comments section, is there a good way to contact you to make music recommendations?
Any chance you can re-up Things that Dreams are made of and R. Crumb stuff?
