Title:  Zap the World

Date:  2002

Label:  Jetset Records / If…   Siesta 156

Cover Photography:  John Zimmerman

Design:  El Graphic

Notes:  A fun find. Mike Alway delves into the retro-pop world and comes up with some bright takes on the well worn paths of 60's instrumental soundscape. There's a bit at the beginning which recreates and ad for Vox Wah-Wah pedals (a tribute to the electric Prunes maybe?). He finds his muse in all things odd and curious and brings a fine sense of humor on board. And on top of everything this slab of wax comes in creamsicle orange colored vinyl. The LP, covers, sleeves and vinyl combine for a sweet listening experience.
