Jesus Christ Surferstar

Easter - time for those who celebrate the occasion to have something other than the standard pious muck to listen to. Grab this and give to the minister, preacher, bishop, evangelist of your choice and freak them out. Hey, now is your chance to "spread the word" -- heeheeheee

Phil Dirt:

What a cool concept! Andrew Lloyd Webber's controversial rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar goes to the beach - mostly. 21 instrumentals and a handful of interesting vocals. Most of the instros are surf. The whole package is well done. Vocal tracks on this amazing CD include a delightful faux-pomp performance of "Strange Things Mystifying" by Prawns With Horns, the traditional surf backtracked "Simon Zeabotas" from Pipelines, the heavy garage fuzz and organ pound of Babyshaker's "Damned For All Time / Blood Money," the dry edged power of "The Arrest" from the HiFi Ramblers, and the Texas heavy fuzz of Johnny Vortex's "Juda's Death." Phil Dirt

The songs are quite strongly melodic which play very well to the surf structure – they stand up as instrumentals. I wind up adding the lyrics in my head. One of the few tributes that stand out as a solid collection on it’s own and in some ways – depending on your mood – improves on the original. Get the original below and go with the flow on Easter, however the wind blows.

Hello.
First of all exuse me for my english.

I'll try to explane problem.
When I play the second part of this compilation it is the same as the first part. I mean the files got names as if it the second part, but in winamp the change there names & sound like the first one.

Can you check it please. If it is your mistake or my STRANGE problem :)))

Thank you!

hi;
There has been some confusion on the second part -- some players see it as the same as part 1 some don't. even the manufacturerer says there might be issues. Music match plays them fine as does DB PowerAmp. The way to check is look at the bit rates and play times of the first cut on each disc. They should be different.

Thank you!!! I've download the second part again & just changed the tags in winamp. Now its sound different (I think I just make a mistake with the folders while chekin it at first time).

Thanx again! :)
