(V/A) Guitar Mood 2: More Rare Instrumentals from the New and Olde Worlds (Repent, 2011)



"A completely unanticipated follow up to the long ago issued wacko eclectic instrumental comp of '60s rock bands from various corners of the world. Amazing examples of local cultures of Turkey, Japan, Finland, Peru, Colombia (and the exotic lands of England and the U.S.) colliding with the guitar instrumental craze, with some longhair music (Beethoven), chicha/cumbia, and half-faux/half-real African influences thrown in. Must be heard to be believed. It's been a long wait since the demise of the much-loved 'Guitar Mood' LP a few years ago, but here's a second volume of obscure but very tasty guitar instrumentals from the 1960s! Japanese surf guitar legend TAKESHI TERAUCHI checks in with two tunes: his rockin' version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and the Baja surfin' tune 'Kokkyo No Machi'. Turkish Fender whiz (and snappy dresser) Mesut Aytunca of SILUETLER shows off with two tunes from 1965 and 1966, along with fellow Turks HARAMILER's fried Middle Eastern instro-rocker from 1967. LOS ORIENTALES DE PARAMONGA and MANZANITA Y SU CONJUNTO, both from Peru, contribute two frantic guitar cumbias, while two more Peruvian bands, LOS SIDERALS and LOS BELKINGS, turn up the echo and the fuzz respectively for two surfy instros. Colombia's PEDRO JAIRO GARCES and his band contribute a 3-part Latin medley complete with accordion parts, Britain's VIC FLICK, the guy behind the original 007 guitar sound, drops a rather strange Afro-flavored one, but AFROSOUND is pure Latin with plenty of Cuban-style percussion and some sort of weird rumbling sound effect, though Finland's BLAZERS come in with a very melodic, heavy-echo-drenched surf-style instro. The USA is represented by a 1959 VENTURES-style instro from BILL COLLINS and a goofy number from THE PASTEL SIX. Enjoy!" (standard promo write-up)

2011 bootleg. Some great Turkish and Peruvian tracks, and more. A welcome companion to the original Guitar Mood compilation. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly.
