El Goodo "Goodo"


Since I’m re-visiting the retro-sounding bands today, here is another one. El Goodo is another ’60’s styled power pop album – you know you’re in for a treat when the song “Surreal Morning” resembles a mix of Byrds and Beatles just perfectly. Most of studio techniques used here are the same as the Rainbow Quartz band, Outrageous Cherry. In fact, listening to both groups together make it hard to tell them apart. A very Kinks-like “Chalking the lines” continues with Brydsian jangle and after a minute has a really great “broken-record” break in mid song. The next tune “Stuck in the Sixties” is really a great treat for an audiophile who loves to play “spot the studio technique” – listen to this and hear bits of Beach Boys, ELO, Curt Bochetter, Moody Blues and of course, the Beatles. A real treat. It has more songs than the Gurus LP and thus gets a better review. download this from e-music here.
