( Not yet rated ) - The second album released after Dick Dale's post-PULP FICTION career rehabilitation, 1996's CALLING UP SPIRITS takes up where 1994's UNKNOWN TERRITORY had left off, blending elements of world music and R&B into the surf-guitar style that Dale almost single-handedly invented. As the title and cover art suggest, there's a level of spirituality in this music that you don't normally associate with instrumental surf. Indeed, the title track and "Temple of Gizeh" are almost religious in their intensity.
But this isn't new age mush. Dale's music is distinctly and, as shown by the startling vocal version of Little Willie John's classic "Fever", startlingly earthy. Elsewhere, Dale invests his version of Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun"--yes, the "you will never hear surf music again" one--with exactly the sort of screw-you spirit implied in that choice of cover songs.
