This CD in Digi-Pak received the "Cry of the Heart Award" with highest ratings from CD Review magazine "Cry of the Coyote" and an enthusiastic review from "Pipeline" Music Magazine. The CD cover art was painted by professional studio artists.

The Insanitizers' music is fun for listeners of all ages and types. These songs are written for the expressiveness and technique of guitar, not for vocalists.

"Dance Like a Robot" is robots clanking and clattering. "Sugarplum" is dreamy yet frantic. "Waterboard Surfing" is submersion alternating with interrogation. "Mountain King" intensity builds into bouncing trolls, growling griffins, and titanic thunderbolts.

"Froggy's Magic Twanger" lowers and raises the bar, the vibrato bar. "Polkzart" is Mozart's 40th Symphony as a polka. "Last Laugh" stages a guitar competition. "Hot Sauce" serves tasty riffs with delicious smokey tone and hallucinatory aftertaste. "Surfin' the Stars" blasts off into galactic thrills.

"Puppetor" twangs through the Alfred Hitchcock theme. "Head-Spin" spins and slides down the race course. "Undertow" pulls you into danger.

"Lost in the 3rd Dimension" is enmeshed in deep watery caves. "Beerocracy" is intoxicated bottle dancing. Fowl Ball combines country + surf guitar + chickens.

"Fantwango" serves panache on a platter of clean tones. It defines flamenco rockabilly. The twangy lead is played on nylon strings for twisted authenticity. "Masked Man" is a chimey orchestral trio, thundering into town, to save your day.

The physical CD can be shipped only within the USA, via regular first class mail.

This is the same compact disc CD in a slender square plastic case instead of Digi-Pak. The case is flexible and will not crack in transit. Because it is thinner it allows shipment via first class mail internationally at much lower postage cost. Each CD ordered this way is shipped separately.

about

The Insanitizers record and perform stories of adventure, mystery, motion, humor, and energy as instrumental guitar music in an involving audience experience. Riding a surfboard, as surf guitar music describes, is one of many energetic adventures. Cry of the Coyote CD review magazine gave this CD a "Cry of the Heart Award" with top ratings, writing, "I was thrilled by the first version, but the second is even more rockin’ and the guitars gallop. Everything on this album is a keeper, what a great time for fans of rockin' surf!"

SurfRockMusic.com wrote: "Whimsical Surf Version 2 is fun. Good old-fashioned party time fun. Everything from the music to the artwork is a gas. Whimsical Surf Version 2 is guaranteed to put a smile on anybody's face."

Version 1 has strong reviews, e.g., 4 stars and "Too much fun" --Phil Dirt/ReverbCentral, "Surf music in a frenzy" --Vancouver Voice, "Sounds great" --Pipeline Music Review Spring 2011. Version 2 adds new melodies and riffs and remasters everything.

We have fun performing this music, and we know this means that our listeners will have fun too.
