Search - Miles Corbin :: Sounds From the Tiki Hut

A tip of the coconut to Mr. Corbin

"It takes spades of talent to create music as beautiful as this without the aid of layered mixing, over-hyped production and in Miles' case, even lyrics. Even if you're not a big surf fan, but are looking for a rage-dump disc, this is it! If you happen to love surf to begin with, you will be pleasently surprised. Although, I do want to mention that this is not a full-blooded surf album. It is mainly sparkling reverb with occasional acoustic amid a tapestry of soft bongo-like percussion. No one plays as clean or precisely as Miles. His songwriting capabilities are the real treat here though. Haunting, dramatic but always relaxing, it dosen't get more mellow or exotic than this."

Dreamy surf island music

"I love this album! It takes me back to the islands, basking in the sun, sipping a mai tai, w/ some local cats playing under the palapa. I'm a big fan of the Aqua Velvets, and Miles playing is stunninly gorgeous on this cd as well."

"I own all of the Aqua Velvet's discs. This is by far Miles' best work. Melodies are stronger and more upbeat but still have that signature Aqua Velvet vibe that invokes daydreaming and chillin' out. I play this everytime I have friends over and they all have loved it and bought it themselves."
