Several compilation CDs have been released in the past few years under the auspices of the Incredibly Strange Music series. Full of oddball lost treasures discovered in garage-sale vinyl bins, the songs contained on the compilations included everything from great old instrumental wizardry to bizarre 10-minute odes to the Buddha. What made the compilations bittersweet, however, was that while they were supplying all this great old music on CD for the first time, the still-unreleased songs from those albums remained lost. But with cocktail kitsch continuing to inspire myriad compilations, the folks behind the Incredibly Strange Music compilations started a prolific label, Scamp Records, devoted entirely to more definitive collections of kitsch, surf, soundtracks and hipster nostalgia. Among the label's early releases—and far from the definition of "incredibly strange music"—is Shadows Are Go!, a 23-song CD featuring the influential, laid-back surf-rock of The Shadows. And fans of early surf music, much of which was inspired by The Shadows in the first place, should find it indispensible. Without all the reverb histrionics of a Dick Dale, Shadows Are Go! conveys a seamless, mellow mood: It's like one free-flowing album, rather than a collection spanning seven years of releases (from 1960 to 1966). Even if you're turned off by the media hype surrounding kitsch and surf nostalgia, this is a fine set of shamefully overlooked surf-rock, and an important piece of rock history.
