5pts @Springywheel - really nice track
3pts @stratman3142 - sounds very familiar… can’t quite place it
1pt @Habanero - straight out of a Tarantino movie…
Big shout out to @snap and @kriszuki both excellent tracks but I thought the other fitted the brief better…
top work chaps.
3 points; @stratman3142 Nice take on Surfin With The Alien with a great medley in between
1 point; @poopot ; Amusing British interpretation of an american sub genre Top job as usual.
Likewise, the other tracks were great but these ones conform more to the surf genre
3 points @Habanero
1 points @Springywheel
All good to be fair, and the three above IMO had big surf vibes.
Otherwise, I might go with music for a Sci Fi film or TV show.
Or for something more original, ethnic music....African tribal, shamanic, Middle Eastern etc.
@stratman3142 re the track, thanks, tbh it was a bit of a struggle this one, couldn't get into the theme, not really a surf rock fan either!
In case anyone didn't know, Nazare is in Portugal and is known for some of the biggest waves that have been surfed. I didn't know either
