レビュー (Amazon) Using the same mix of rare archival footage and personal perspectives that made his Dogtown and Z-Boys so compelling, extreme-sport documentarian Stacy Peralta chronicles the rare breed of surfers obsessed with finding and riding the globe's most monstrous waves, some cresting at 70-plus feet. The film's six-decade timeframe also gives the filmmaker the rare opportunity to push the envelope of what constitutes "surf music" on a soundtrack that spans nearly as much time and territory as its inspiration. Traditional instrumental rock chestnuts like Link Wray's "Rumble" and Dick Dale's proto-surf classic "Miserlou" are supplemented here by the modern rock of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and even Sweden's The Hives (via the retro surf-garage-punk thrash of "The Stomp"). The Stray Cats and Ruts add a little rock-of-the-80's energy, but it's the unexpected delights here -- Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Makana Waves," the jazzy "Innacity Years" by Illdependents, the vintage, sinewy Hawaiian guitar stylings of Gabby Pahinui and Sol Hoopii/O.T. Coffin -- that gives the collection its eclectic, satisfying edge. --Jerry McCulley |
