The CD is a great idea. Blending various artists and styles allows the listener hear and move all around TIKI.

I'm afraid more scholarly folks can speak to the "is or isn't" surf, but I've always felt it was OK to place both into any surf mix.

I guess if there was a borderline surf area, for me it would need be instrumental only. The Beach Boys had the surf vibe, but vocals definitely pushed them far away from the traditional instro surf bands.

BTW, the Beach Boys did have an unusual exotica/hapa haole sounding instrumental called Diamond Head on their Friends album.

Good luck on the project Sven!
