Sorry for continuing the derail of this thread.
but...

Lucas, on one had I agree with you about Tikiyaki having surfy elements on some songs. And me being a Surf Nut, and Exotica music fan, I thought that they were an amazing mix of the 2. And its Why I love Tikiyaki so much.

But I think you generalize in saying that all their songs are surf/Exotica.
there are many songs that they do, that Jim, and Brian both play keyboards, and
not their guitars.

go back and listen to both cds.
Hopefully you have them both.

and do a track by track examination of the instrumentation.
All though there may be a few songs with Gary on his Lap Steel,
I would not consider that to lend to the Surf sound, and more towards a Hawaiian sound. So don't confuse that with Surf.
