Bluebird: “Stylemasters [Soundtrack]”

New soundtrack to a performance-surfing documentary shot in the late 70s. The intro offers speed-drumming fritzed through a phase-shifter, then moves on to your typical (and ironically dated, as of recently) Queens of the Stone Age fuzz with a nod in the general direction of hammock-rock things like Quagmire. “Glitter Pit” is comprised of slapped-together juice machine grind-noise over fog-swirled ringouts and no percussion, probably for the slo-mo montages; “Glass +” explores a rather pretty Oasis-like arpeggio; the heavily muted “Accidental Progress” points out that even Martians need game-show music; “Good Ride” owes its lot in life to Machine Head-era spandex metal. Freakout tunes for your e-party if nothing else, and actually much better than a lot of the retro soundtracking that’s out at present. Order from Amazon.com
