Feet"
"Wet Feet" is a little like a toned down"Let's Go" (Routers),
but with island chords and a gentler, more relaxed sound. Quite a
nice track!

This
instro is moody and slow, with a very inviting sound, haunting chords,
a very tasteful melody line that uses space well, and a smooth rhythm

writing and arranging. Very nice!

"Sandcrawler"
"Sandcrawler" moves slowly
with intriguing island drums. It's exotic and mysterious, and very
enticing. The drums are quite good, and the overall effect of the
song is pleasure.

"Beach Break"
A
very simple riff based song gets a lift via well timed delay on the
guitar that causes the vibratoed notes to throb side to side. In some
ways "Beach Break" is like early Beach Boys instros.
