Aloha and Happy New Year everybody,
I'd like to shamelessly plug our 3rd album, which has been getting great
reviews recently. The album is entirely instrumental, contains 19 tracks
that combine traditional surf music with other influences such as spy movie
themes, spaghetti western music, exotica, and more. The concept of the
album is based around nostalgic TV music, and includes some covers of
obscure tunes from Israeli television.
For those of you remembering our previous albums, let me tell you that this
one is very different in that it's much more melodic, and a lot less Metal
influenced.
In the continental U.S., the album costs only $12 including shipping, when
ordered directly from me.
e-mail me off list at for details.
If you want to sample some of the tunes, checkout our website
http://www.astroglides.com/songs.html for some full length MP3 downloads.

We were honored to receive some great responses, including Mr. Phil Dirt's
wonderful 5 star review:

"This is an incredible project. Even with forewarning about the blend of
instruments and sounds, I was not prepared for the scope of the creativity
nor the magnitude of the resulting release. This is a spectacularly creative
and enjoyable release, blending surf and punk and metal and lounge and
exotica and spy themes, and detective tales and... You must hear this CD,
but you also must have your adventure hat on and your attitude belt off.
It's a daring side trip into uncharted surf territory. Brilliant!"
