Among
the coolest and certainly among the earliest of the CD reissue labels
to emerge in the mid to late 1980s, Sundazed was founded by musicologist
Bob Irwin. In 2013, Sundazed is still going strong (check out
the latest Sundazed CD reviews in the Summer
2013 reissue section of mwe3.com) and Bob continues to evolve,
not only as a label honcho but as a musician too. Case in point is
a fantastic, 2013 instrumental music CD on Sundazed, featuring his
groups The Pluto Walkers and his other band El Futuro Sonidos,
each of which features the same players. Decked out in cool CD (and
vinyl) cover art, The Throwaway Age looks (and sounds)
like an original motion picture soundtrack (perhaps to the story of
our lives!) and features Bobs inspired electric guitar work
backed up by his Pluto Walkers / El Futuro Sonidos band mates including
Chris Fisher (drums), Michael Dunn (organ, moog) and
Ed Wasilewski (bass). Over the past 20+ years, Bob and Sundazed
have worked with many of the best American guitar greats, including
(but not limited to) The Ventures, Davie Allan and Dick Dale, and
you can count those same icons as being among the chief influences
on The Throwaway Age. Check out The Throwaway Age for
the cool cover art that evokes those classic 1960s soundtracks, but
get it for the cool sonic guitar grooves in play throughout this essential
13 track instrumental guitar classic. www.sundazed.com
