1963 was a big year for instrumental guitar
music, particularly surf music. "Pipeline" by The Chantays, "Wipeout"
by The Surfaris, "Bombora
" by The Atlantics , "Dance On"
and "Foot Tapper" by The
Shadows all topped the charts.
Inspired by "that sound", Martin Cilia, guitarist with
legendary Australian
surf band, The Atlantics, has taken
a step into the solo spotlight with the release of "Revenge Of The
Surf
Guitar". This 16 track CD is his tribute to early sixties surf
guitar music.
A true labour of love, Martin
wrote all tracks, played the majority of instruments and produced the
project.
An avid collector of classic electric guitars
and amps and always a perfectionist, Martin's
unique playing ability is complimented by the sounds of some exceptional
instruments: a 1963 candy apple red Fender Stratocaster, a 63 black
Fender Jaguar, a 63 Fender Vibroverb, a 63
Fender Outboard Reverb Tank and a 63 Fender Jazz Bass.
"All of these instruments just happen to be
from 1963. This was not planned. It just worked out that way because
they all
had a unique sound that attracted me. I played the Jaguar on 95% of this
CD.
This is the first time I have used a Jaguar and discovered an amazing
sound".
Highly regarded surf music critic, Phil Dirt
of ReverbCentral.com in Santa Cruz,
California has rated it 5 stars. "This album is solid top to
bottom...very fresh
and powerful ... Martin Cilia has
produced a wonderful CD with 16 wonderful tracks ... this album is very,
VERY
well done. Highly recommended".
