Surf Strike! is the debut full-length release from the Franco surf band the Star And Key Of The Indian Ocean, an "interesting release with a shallow/ambient sound, and the music is fresh and spunky," in the words of Phil Dirt at Reverb Central. The band was born during Spring of 2000 after meeting the maurition guru Sunshine Vivek. Islands, limpid ocean and curly waves all created the Star And Key Of The Indian Ocean and their tremendous surf beat. Dirt continues, "The Star And Key Of The Indian Ocean is more than just an unusual name for a band. It's a sound born of the deep throated rumble of the surf, with all the tribal energy and melody implied. Power, pleasure and invention conspire with spies and bronze riders of the curl to create a fresh approach to the genre." Check out the vibrato throbbed feedback space ambiance of "Side A", the constant whammy chord action of "Phantom Wave" and the exuberant beat of "Finger Ache". Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Surf/Rock), total running time, 51:32
