Dead men tell no tales? I think not!! Well, they don’t sing, but they definitely tell a tale here on this cd, as England’s team Deadman weaves a story of international intrigue in with an album of surfy, often-futuristic instro music. The Deadman spy saga narrative is given in interludes between each song. Agent Orange is a typical fun tune – starts with a kooky intro, and then breaks into a catchy spy riff doubled on guitar and organ. Some of the tunes are pretty divergent from the surf music sound, but it’s all part of a pretty innovative sound and package.
