Featured the songs for another classic Australian surf movie "EVOLUTION"
filmed by Paul Witzig in 1969, played by Australian group called
TAMAM SHUD. This surfer quartet featured Lindsay Bjerre and
Tim Gaze, both of them were successful for their solo career.
Tamam Shud was one of the most original and innovative Australian groups
of the late 60s and early 70s. They played a very important part as pioneers
of acid-rock and progressive music. For many years after they split they
were something of a cult, and their original recordings were (and still
are) very hard to obtain. But thanks to a gratifying 'comeback', and some
commercial success with their 1994 album Permanent Culture, and the driving,
bluesy single Stay, there has been a significant revival of interest in
this outstanding and original group, and it sparked interest in this classic
band with younger listeners as well.
The evolution of Shud was typical of many groups of the era, beginning
as an instrumental band, through 'beat' pop group and psychedelia, to progressive
rock.. From the original line-up (The Sunsets), through to Evolution, Goolutionites,
Morning Of The Earth and Permanent Culture line-ups, the lingering "surf
band" tag linked them with Sydney's northern beaches surf culture.
In reality, they established their major fan base on Sydney's university
and college dance circuit, and with the 'hippy' audiences at inner city
underground venues like the Mandala Theatre in Darlinghurst and the Beacon
Theatre in Newtown.
A bonus track, Bali Water (M-12) is featured Richard Lockwood
(from Tully) and played his ethernal flute for this aesthetic &
mystic psychdelia instrumental tune which became one of highlights of this
CD.
----------------------------------------
Evolution burst explosively on the surfing world in 1969, heralding a period
a dynamic change which has never been repeated. The raw energy of the film,
the surfing and the music came together to blow away old film & surf
music styles, & seeded a youth culture which has swept the world
..... Paul Witzig

 「エヴォリューションは、音楽で、映画で、サーフィンで、ユースカルチャーで、偉大なる変革が起こっていた時代の只中に出来たものだ。そのフィルムとサントラは、ワイルドで牧歌的だったあの頃の精神性を封じ込めている。」
‥‥ポール・ウィティグ

「60年代終わりから70年代初頭、静ひつな未知のスポットと自由を求めるサーファーが辿り着いた場所はオーストラリアだった。それに呼応するように、ここでは他とひと味違うヤバいサーフ・ミュージックと映画が発生した。それもほんの一瞬だけ。この入念に選ばれたコレクションはその軌跡を再び示し、経験したことのないトリップに貴方を導くだろう」
