Meh...

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Maybe I went into it with too lofty of expectations. Excellent premise; lackluster execution... It seems trying too hard to be gimmicky in places. I would have preferred that they spent more time exploring textures and moods rather than produce one campy B movie theme after another...

A for premise
C- for execution

YMMV

Charlie Quaker

combines cinephile reverence with Old West guitar reverb rock

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2011

This is Spindrift's 4th release, and it's safe to say that nobody sounds like them. A surrealist
concept album that combines cinephile reverence with Old West guitar reverb rock. Basically,
it's Spaghetti Western soundtrack rock--like an updated indie rock take on Ennio Morricone,
with an eerie retro twist of outer space synths & sitar sitting beside pedal steel & oud. Strangely
hypnotic psychedelic saddle music (Imagine Dead Meadow & Black Mountain on horses with
cowboy hats. I mean, both the horses & the bands have cowboy hats on!) with a tremolo guitar
gunslinger mentality. Includes a great fold-out poster documenting the "films" that these songs
were written for, with titles like "Drifter's Pass", "Last Stop Before Hell", "Space Vixens", "Holly-
wood Play-girls", "The Legend of God's Gun" (This one is an actual film), etc. Check out some
of the cool videos on IFC. It's weird. I like it.

Where's Vol. 2??? Vol. 3?

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

A musical resume for film scores! Basically the album is chock full of grindhouse style film soundtrack themes...Including films such as DUST UP, Treasure of the Black Jaguar, Legend of the Widower Colby Wallace, various J. X. Williams pieces, The Legend of God's Gun, and further rarities. At once it was thought that it was a fictitious concept album, however it seems true that all the titles have been released over the years in true film scores. For example, check out the DUST UP Motion Picture Soundtrack, which has some really excellent Spindrift compositions not featured on this album. Sucky thing is, where the rest? Rumor has it, Vol. 2 has apparently gone missing and Vol. 3 will be released in 2015 following the bands strange ghost town film Spindrift: Ghost of the West.
Here's a little Discog(from what I can gather):
1997 Strange Range LP (Zowie Records)
1999 We Come From The United States (Drophit Records)
2000 Ten Million Asians Can't Be Wrong (Unreleased, seen this as a bootleg, apparently a Japanese import exists)
2003 Songs From the Ancient Age (self released)
2005 Space Is Between the Ears (self released compilation of earlier material)
2008 The Legend of Gods Gun (Tee Pee Records)
2009 The West (Beat The World Records)
2009 Goin Down EP (Vacancy Records)
2010 Classic Soundtracks Vol. 1 (Xemu Records)
2012 Dust Up Motion Picture Soundtrack
2013 Spindrift: Ghost of the West (Tee Pee Records)

The thing that is cool about Classic Soundtracks Vol 1 is that it's not only film scores but it flows as an album as well. A good amount of care was done to the tracking selection and order. It has 14 different tracks representing up to 8 different Directors. No small feat. It was recorded at the Joshua Tree, CA oasis of Hicksville Trailer Palace. which is an amazing place to stay/visit if you ever get a chance.

Side Note: The band contributed to the soundtrack to Tarantino's "Hell Ride" in 2008 in one of Dennis Hoppers last scenes.
