Japanese garage rock trio The Routes<\/a> are back with studio album number 14. Last year they transformed ten electro classics by Kraftwerk into pretty cool instrumental surf rock crackers on The Twang Machine<\/em><\/a>, which was so well received that they now dare to also take up the work of Pete Shelley and Buzzcocks<\/a>. On Reverberation Addict<\/em><\/a>, you’ll hear fifteen of the most popular songs from the British punk rock band, reimagined and rearranged as 60s surf guitar instrumental bangers. The cover art (by Malcolm Garrett) is a reworking of that of the 1977 Buzzcocks single Orgasm Addict<\/em><\/a>, from which the title is also derived. Chris Jack (guitar, bass, percussion, organ), Toru Nishimuta (bass) and Bryan Styles (drums, percussion) make it an exciting ride, a respectful tribute that once again shows how awesome the original compositions are, but captured in a completely different sound, turning out well.<\/p>\n
