Requiem For A Surf Movie

Pas mal !!

this is the viibe.. shaka bruv!

Be all psychedelic & shit. Pretty chill rip for a day of 420 beach time. Gets a little harsh in spots, but that's not a bad thing. Great work all the way round.

AS USUAL.VERY NICE dAVE

I swear you could make a career in post production. I'm always amazed by your use of effects and background noises/incidentals. Brilliant!

I'm starting to listen more and more to songs in which the bass player actually plays a melody, and yourplaying is spot on.

The drums are great. The mix is brilliant, dark yet atmospheric.This is getting faved and downloaded!

That's a slick track bro, I really dig the groovy vibe throughout. The guitars are killer man, I gotta listen to more of your stuff. Love that outtro too, so seductive and mysterious. The bongo’s are a nice touch and fit the theme. I can close my eyes and picture a dawn patrol off Ocean City in the younger days. I did a little surfing and some skate boarding during my fearless (and little regard for life) teens. Have to admit that I was expecting something more along the lines of Dick Dale, Jan and Dean, The Ventures or the Beach Boys from the title. Even though we were a few generations or so from that era, when it came to music there were certain songs that were considered "Holy Grail" and required listening. My favorite was Catch a Wave by the Beach Boys, which Endless Summer pretty much was the soundtrack of my life between the ages of 14 -16. I still get chills when I listen to it. During that time I discovered music, surfing, girls and got my drivers license. The age of innocence was over, it was a great time! Thanks for the download on this one and also for triggering the ol' memory banks !

WELL DONE! I really like it as your excellent loops. Thank you.

Wow! Just fucking wow!

This is truly amazing and impressive.
Listening to this late night, under the cloak of darkness and it blew my mind.

Great arrangement! Great grooves. Love hearing a true musician do his thing.

Hey Dave! Surfing is a big thing here where I live and so are the shark bites, ouch. Any day you can walk down to the beach and watch people surf on a board, wind surf using a kite, paddle board, body surf... I can totally get the theme and feel of what you have going on. I love watching the surfing vids on you tube of these surfers and the music that accompanies them can be as good as the surfing itself and can set the tone, whether it's wipe-outs or successful big wave, the music always adds a sense of being there.

Endless Summer feel to the track, hot sun and blowing sand musically created helps to set the mood. Need to wipe the sand and sweat off my brow and head back in the water to cool off. ;)

Well done there Dave, hang ten if you can!

I just posted a short Facebook video that sampled this track for a Class V rafting trip we ran this weekend; it took me an hour to find anything that worked, and then I saw the title to your track. Worked great, thanks for posting this!

Yo, PJB.

This is some good surf shit. Cool, very far out, mystical intro. No surfing yet. Not unlesss it's slow motion surfing on another planet.

Ah, here come the waves. And the gulls. Did you surf out far to get those sounds?

Then funky bass and guitar and a steady funk drum groove. Is that guitar clipping at all? I can hear a little bit of perhaps unwanted crunch though nothing terrible.

3:14 break for the waves to return and then a groove and vibe I much prefer. Nice and spacious and jazzy. I prefer the drums and laidback vibe. And more far out feel.

1:42-3:14 is decent but I'd probably prefer the track if that section were entirely removed.

Second half has some tasty little jazzy guitar runs. Very gentle and carefully considered stuff.

Overall: congratulations.

P.S. I have never got into surfing. Never done it at all. I prefer kayaking and should be going out on the river tomorrow. As if you need to know!

I almost forgot I was listening to this. I'm at work and the waves came crashing in in the intro. Haha. 3:15 mwahh, love it. This is a nice mellow and as usual pleasant listen from you Dave!

I come to shake the Planet's tree. How are things Dave? Thank for the treat bro. This was quite the journey which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's a long weekend and I just finished recording and posting a sing and decided to give my tired ears some PJB. I love this song with it's jazzy rhythmical vibe, topped of with some great fusion and what is that I hear? Some very impressive guitar to go alongside that fretless bass. Great to hear your new stuff my friend ! Cheers to you and I hope all is well with you bro.

damn that intro is so beautiful! it gives me a very arabic feeling? I'm not sure if its arabic for sure... but damn this is amazing very great job my friend.

Love that intro ambient and atonal. and then...1:43.....I can only describe it in the way my face made this expression. It´s the same expression you make when you build a bonfire and it´s freaking huge but still within the bounds of control and everyone just has this look of awe. The same look you and your buddies have at each other when this super hot 10 comes walking past all of you and you can´t help but acknowledge your shared experience. That guitar is so gritty with that bass line. Magical. You are a Musicians , Musician! BTW my Pop used to play tunes from the Ventures, Duane Eddy and also Dick dale, but this rides on a much more chilled path. Brilliant. Fav´d of course.
Crustanding ovation!

Wow, I never saw that transition coming. Good job!! Great Track!!

I love it when I get through reading the comments and the beat drops. Classic tune Dave, I freaking dig it!

You always hit the nail on the head with your low frequency ranges, and that is no simple task! Since I know you are a bass dude, I respect it even more.

This second part is dissolving into a massive psychedelic groove, and it sounds great!

You descriiption saying - "The horizon is the future, gravity is the engine and nature is the focus." It reminded me of a couple of things right away. Walking, most of all. Second were running and how I imagine it must be to master frisbee golf. This song expresses my feelings while walking very creatively, and if only for that I will fave and DL it.

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! I've enjoyed it thoroughly! I'm so glad that the neighbors aren't pound fence posts just now!

Was caught off guard a bit by the big atmospheric intro..perhaps expecting something bent more towards what has now become known as surf musuc (the stuff I first learned to play)..but man, this is (as I always expect) classically good PJB stuff...like the compositional thinking that sets the scene..brings in those elements (1st section) that say "Surf"...then evolved into a sort of a smooth Summery-jazz thing the could conjure up evening at the beach scenes..or city late night....Your are a big talent Dave..enjoy the way you arrange and play...but I can never ignore the production results you get...I have to assume you are a bit of a perfectionist with your art as it just shines...even when I thought I was pretty good at it, I could never have got those kind of production values..Fabulous bit of work...big fav for sure....much respect....Ed

OMG!!! this is so awsome this track, i love the intro and the changes in the track, loving that cool guitar, this is simply wonderful, a lovely album like this would be brilliant
all the best and well done

very nice, my boss is a surfer. I played it for him and just smiled.
great job.

it's the waves and the birds, the sun and the sea, some chilling on the beach with a cocktail or tree. i love bongo's

Very nice track Dave. I like the ambience quite a bit, definitely something I can imagine listening to while sitting with a nice glass of something-or-other on a gorgeous day.

Nice use of delay, not too gratuitous but enough to embody that seaside-surf feel for sure. And as always, nice playing!

Cheers, Dave. Glad to see you're still around these parts.

Dave, I like the seaside effects. I actually live by the ocean coast. But to be more impartial, it does set a relaxing mood. First, the entire presentation is very inviting, smooth and very palatable like fine white wine. It feels right.

Verse structure and song arrangement professionally and masterfully done. The Strings? I mean what can I really say about the most amazing strings on this site that has not already been been said. I would just be piling on to a tall list of accolades, kudos, and honours that has been said about your strings Dave!

Truly amazing piece of work that showcases your guitar playing and your talent front and center in a song that I could picture myself listening to while dining at a five star restaurant. You are that consummate, unparalleled, and uncompromising musician/writer/producer professional that many of us truly admire and respect, at least I do. Very, very well done Dave! Thanks for the download, I am putting this one on my phone right now! Great song.

Cheers Dave!

As im a guitar buff i really appreciate the class jazzy guitar work which is very nice super clarity well played. Nice transition into the slower second phase i like the tempo overall its really fab track well done i hope you find a surf filmaker to make best use of it . Regards Robbie.

This is well cool.
This is summer.
This is music!
Not to keen on that long intro with sound effects.
This is way beyond needing such sound effects.
The title sets the mood/scene perfectly.
Absolutely love it.
Favourite.
