Surf Lounge Music from surflounge.com

Crazy Joe sez:
Liner notes for Crazy Joe's Surf Lounge music...

These are 'treasures of the magnificent' that leave a profound sense of awe and appreciation for such twentieth-century genius. There is something magical about hearing this kind of excellence done with such apparent ease and enjoyment. It's all here: the beauty, the elegance, the daring, and the sheer mastery of transforming seemingly unbounded imagination into music that remains unequalled today. It has the potential to counter the psychological problems induced by “materialism, alienation from nature through industrialization and increasing urbanization, lack of satisfaction in professional employment in a mechanized, lifeless working world, ennui and purposelessness in wealthy, saturated society, and lack of a religious, nurturing, and meaningful philosophical foundation of life”.

Crazy Joe's band plays with eyelids at half mast, because they have heard all this and much more. Music is the pulsating pleasure of the charm and sounds of love, and this is the music that frees the panther lurking inside those worthy of the name: with it's face half veiled, eyes filled with dark fires, and every movement sensual and mysterious. This is the ancient music that makes that fire of passion. The rythmic cadences of nature's boiler room are here, the aural history of the sex life of a cosmic corn popper, the wail and chime and gong sound of the eternal. In other words, you shouldn't expect any tremendous big crashes and bangy loud noise... but the mood's kinda catchy. You need no translation to understand the full meaning. It takes merely a moment of unhurried time.

His recording studio captures alive the true sounds of fun, innocent, escapist, hedonistic retrogressive joy. This music has the ability to reprogram the brain and body so that after repeated listening you can identify implanted messages and commands as your own notions. What makes it categorically different? It has sultry excitement and adventurous mystery. It's great music that's an amusing and memorable part of our collective media sub-life, and Crazy Joe brought the vibes back better than ever.

"As the end of the millennium approached, and we found ourselves digging bomb shelters again... no music collection should be without Surf Lounge sounds."

Crazy Joe's SurfLounge music is associated with the mood of swank space age bachelor pads, exotica, cool hepcats, martinis, lava lamps, tiki torches, beach parties, sand, surf, sunsets, mondo mambo, bossa-nova bongo, atomic cha-cha, crime spy jazz, jet set hi-fi hi-balls, and cocktail pop subculture. Here is the sound of swinging sophistication. It's background vibes for people who want to have a fabulous time. It's the ultimate escape, and the coolest vacation you can take... a soundtrack for paradise. Take your shoes off, and live the high life while you can. Soothe your ears, and ease your mind from a stressed out world. Relax, laugh, listen and enjoy!
MUSIC and VIBES
is more than music for escape. It is music for love. And underneath it all is the rhythm, the beat, the excitement of open arms, warm welcome and the pleasures of romance. But look, cats... don't get your feet wet unless your ticker's tickin', unless you've been takin' your vitamin pills and really want to get your kicks. When the mambo meets jazz, man, don't run for cover... stay loose!
TROPICAL TUNES
mixes the treasures of exotic island lilts, the echoes of rhythmical tones tip-toeing out of the wilderness and melodies on the move. It is full of enchantment. It has a feeling of reverence for the beauty of those contented islands. It is caught in the spell of the world of wishes. you roll over dreams of hula-dancers, ride outrigger canoes to moonlit shores and crater-extinct volcanos.
SURF LOUNGE BLUES
requires life membership in the jumpin' benevolent and protective order of lid flippers and happy hipsters. All you gotta do is move with the music, and throw away those inhibitions. If you've got some rafters handy, start swinging from 'em. For man, we've finally discovered what really happens when that irresistible force meets the immovable object, and Crazy Joe's got us really swinging!
