Especially the third track was successful reaching a few challenging original crossover ideas. Review : http://www.psychefolk.com/JazzmeetsIndia.html#anchor_180 * Silver Tortoise V.A. : Let's A-Go-Go (SING/INDO/MAL,1960s)**°’ Tr.3, The Bees: “Flamingo” 4 min Tr.19,Orkes Tropicano: “Mun Li” 3 min Tr.25,The Spacemen:“Swim Swim Swim (She and I)” 4 min 11-29 A few favourites to take out of this twist/go-go/freakbeat compilation like this a nice Shadows surf influence on The Bees and on The Spacemen. Not essential but some nice tracks.

According to the circumstances the result of this electric guitar based tracks sound most succesful amongst less succesful synth/computer-based arrangements.
