5.0 out of 5 stars This old guy rocks harder than any young guy!, January 21, 2005

Man, this album is too powerful to be contained. The shredding guitar and breakneck speed. The pounding drums that seem like twenty drummers are pounding away. And finally, one of the greatest Dick Dale songs of all-time, "Temple of Gizeh." If you are a Dick Dale fan, like me, this album will quickly become one of your most cherished possessions. (...)

Right from the opening cut, Calling Up Spirits rips into high gear as ferocious as any speed metal album, only this is surf rock, not metal. What the hell's going on here? Most of Dale's 90s output is in the same vein, so if you have Tribal Thunder or Unknown Territory, you're not gonna be disappointed in this. My only complaint here is the few songs with vocals that seem to sneak their way onto the albums(except Tribal Thunder). I like my surf rock like my jazz-instrumental. That's just a personal preference, I'm sure there are many who like Dick's vocals. This one's not as easy to find as his others, don't ask me why, but it's just as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!, January 22, 1999

Dick Dale seems to get better and better with age, and this album proves it! There is nothing that compares with the raw power and energy that seems to flow out of his guitar. A MUST for any fan of "Surf" type music.
