This isn't weird or experimental, just a straight-ahead three chord riff with a little bit of Link Wray menace. My band covers this, and it's the menace part that's hard to replicate.

I didn't see this thread was ever revived, so two months after the fact: thanks, meisenfek. Both tracks are killin' me.

There's not much exceptional about this song, but the production is beautiful.

I've neglected this thread for over a year?! Here's my latest obsession, middle eastern surf from Moncton, New Brunswick.

Yeah, I discovered "Scream" a few months back myself. Not instro, obv., but killer guitar throughout. I can imagine them instigating insanity at the sock hops with that one!
