Arno De Cea & The Clockwork Wizards - Retro Futurisme Volume I CD (Creepozoid / Calico) 

One of the most powerful surf/instro combos in France, heck, let’s just say all of Europe, is back with another blistering, mind-scorching set of tunes. I think a fair number of people would listen to their music and say they sound like Man Or Astroman?, which is definitely a fair point. The punk energy, the guitar sound, riffs and melodies are all fairly similar. As much as a love MOA? Though, I will say that Arno De Cea has songs that have a bit more craft to them - they aren’t as reliant on finding a good riff and just hammering away at it. You also won’t hear as many samples, and the songs don’t rely on a “schtick”. This album has a variety and depth that is almost like an aural adventure - that is further enhanced by the use of sounds and instrumentation beyond just guitar, bass and drums. The CD version that we're selling includes two bonus tracks as well as a free sticker!
