"Morning of the Earth is arguably the first surf movie that went beyond waves and into something of a (wordless) meditation on life based on surfing. The film is a product of it's time (very early '70's - first years of shortboard transition) and is full of back-to-the-country hippy vibes as well as some beautifully filmed surfing on Australian, Hawaian and Bali waves. The soundtrack is therefore a mixed bag of cutesy Australasian country folk (G Wayne Thomas), psychedelic prog rock (Taman Shud), and seriously wonderful Acid Rock from New Zealand's forgotten Ticket. Their tracks Awake and Dream Chant are worth the price alone. Like the film the soundtrack is a bit of a time machine back to a by-gone era. The soundtrack is for the nostalgic or those wanting a good compilation of early 70's Australasian psych-folk stuff. The film is still one of the all-time classic surf movies too so check it out."

Classic cd.

"This is a great cd I have the record for years but is good to have a cd copy even tough it was recorded a long time ago it still a classic sound. It is one of the best sound tracks I have heard from a surf movie. It has a mixture of good Aussie bands from the seventies."
