Zombi - Surface to Air

What happens when you lock a couple of dudes from Pittsburgh in a dungeon and blast nothing but John Carpenter soundtracks into their ears? Presumably, they make a very Jack Burton-esque escape, form a progressive rock-duo known to the public as Zombi, and put out a record called Surface to Air. If you've ever needed your own post-apocalyptic soundtrack to make being stuck in traffic seem way more epic than it really is, this record is for you.

When the record starts playing, it is damn near impossible to feel like you are stuck inside some strange sci-fi flick you randomly grabbed off the shelf at a video store. This is not too strange taken that they have scored a few movies according to their discography. The album feels like a movie on its own, I’m pretty sure you can close your eyes and listen to this record and watch it unfold.

Might I suggest... put this on and pop on some 2 player Super Nintendo. It doesn’t really matter what you play, it will make the gaming experience much more enjoyable. I had the pleasure of listening to it while playing King of Monsters... oh man. Smash TV is another good one. I guess as long as you and a buddy can destroy a bunch of stuff while listening to this record, it’s a bonus.

Zombi’s Surface to Air can be ordered through Relapse Records, or see if your local independent record store can snag it for you.
