The Marketts
小简介
The Marketts可谓是好莱坞冲浪摇滚劲旅,63年的一首“Out Of Limits”成为了排行榜季军,并且是他们的招牌作品。
by Richie UnterbergerThe Marketts are sometimes classified as a surf group because of their hit instrumental Out of Limits, one of the last big surf singles, which made #3 in early 1964. In reality, they were something of an all-purpose contemporary instrumental group with elements of surf, rock, pop, and even easy listening. And they were not really a group, but a fluid collection of Los Angeles session musicians, working under the direction of producer Joe Saraceno. Saraceno was the principal man behind the concept of the Marketts, although he himself did not play or arrange anything on their records, or even write all of the material. He was sharp enough to latch onto the surf craze in 1962 for one of the earliest instrumental surf hits, Surfers Stomp, which made the Top Forty on Liberty in 1962. While working at Liberty, he also produced the Ventures for a time, and the influence of the Ventures cleanly-picked guitar lines is very evident on Out of Limits and some other Marketts tracks. With their blend of surfy guitar leads, film soundtrack horns, and spooky organ, the Marketts sound is best described not as surf, but as rock-influenced instrumental pop with a futuristic (by early 60s standards) touch. Many of their songs seemed to be doing their best to evoke space travel and science fiction flicks, sometimes with the help of what sounds like a theremin. They could be said to have filled the void between surf music and space age pop, which is not a criticism; their music is not terribly substantial, but it is fun, and has a pretty good groove. After Out of Limits, the Marketts would enter the Top Twenty one more time with the Batman Theme in early 1966, and release records as late as 1977. Saraceno, in addition to his work with the Marketts and the Ventures, would also produce Bobby Vee, the Sunshine Company, Martin Denny, and many other acts.
