While no new The Ventures album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1965 tour in Australia. ‘The Fabulous Ventures’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. The Fabulous Ventures isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Smart music for smart people.
The Ventures offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Eleventh Hour is gorgeous work of The Ventures. The Ventures is hitting on all cylinders in The Cruel Sea. Scratchin’ is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track The Ventures ever produced. The Ventures breathes new life into the music in Tall Cool One. Only The Young - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of The Ventures. Journey To The Stars is the most memorable and astounding. Music and lyrics of Fugitive creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. From the moment you listen to Ravin’ Blue you’re hooked. Walkin’ With Pluto is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. The Pink Panther Theme has a beautifully haunting disco flavor.
