Takeshi Terauchi - Beat Beat Beat Vol. 1-4

With all that water around Japan, it's no wonder they got a lot of surf. And with the Ventures cult they've got going there, it's no wonder they've got their own surf music scene. What's surprising, though, is how good the japanese surf is.
With the first tidal wave of surf popularity in the 60's, japanese teenagers formed a million guitar bands to emulate the Ventures. This style was called ereki (electric), and Takeshi Terauchi (AKA Terry) was the biggest ereki star of them all. Just like the Ventures, Terry put out countless albums, a lot of them "concept" - i.e. Terry plays classical themes surf-style, Terry plays trad japanese folk tunes surf-style, Terry plays this, Terry plays that... These LPs are "Terry plays the deathless surf standards and then some" - Walk Don't Run, Diamond Head, Apache, Wipeout, Out of Limits etc. etc. He manages to walk that fine line between being faithful to the classic surf style and having his own individuality - his sound is a lot like the Ventures', but harder, drier and edgier.
You think that Pulp Fiction soundtrack is all the surf worth hearing? Terry's guitar will have it for lunch!
And remember, THE PRIVILEGE IS NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE JAPAN!

    Hey Invisible Man,
    There are two Terry records here:
    http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/09/japanese_surf_v.html
    and
    http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/06/takeshi_terauch.html
    These pages change; one of the song titles used to be "The go-between of the rainbow", then it became "Rainbow Bridge" and now it is "Oedo Nihonbashi" or smth.

    I've got more of his stuff and some other japanese surf too, I'll put it up this week.
