And yes, both Jose Dolz (Shock Treatment, Prototipes, Telepath Boys), leader and main composer of the project, and Luis Sanchez (K7s, Depressing Claim, Los Reactivos, Prototipes), have shown they know how to compose songs that are still alive decades later. The good news is that beyond an undeniable spontaneity and sympathy that catch you at first, successive listens to this new work confirm the rotundity of the songs, those great ones forgotten in groups that are born with the idea of expressing themselves in a defined style. If a single listen to these melodies does not make a spark jump in your nervous system, to draw a smile on your face. Regardless of what you like to fill your bag with - you don't need to be a fan of the 60's Girl Groups sound, or the New Wave groups that in the late 70s recovered that same sound by adding garish colors and instrumental power - we are convinced that these pearls will dazzle you without remedy.
Wally Sanz and Tomas Escoin got in right after that. They “discovered” Ana Beltran at a Karaoke and immediately asked her to join the band.
Jose Dolz (Shock Treatment) and Luis Sanchez (Depressing Claim, Reactivos & K7s) started this project with the idea of covering 60s girl groups songs. Our inspiration and references are clear: The Ronettes, The Supremes, The Crystals, The Shangri-las, and almost everything Phil Spector produced, but focusing on the pop side and not so much on the soul one. You know it, we know it, and Heatwaves know it too… Complete Recordings radiates delicious perfection, they don't have any excess or lack of anything. "The band takes us back to a time when Motown ruled the airwaves and a few other girl bands from the mid 60s.Supremes and The Shangri-Lahs fans, honey is dripping from the voice of singer Ana Beltrán as if bees aren't dying out fast." - WoNo Blog

Great vocal harmonies, plenty of energy, catchy tunes that’ll have you humming along before they even reach the second verse… the production captures all the elements to full effect and ensure that this really sounds cool." - Fear And Loathing Zine "If you could imagine that The Shangri-La’s or The Ronettes had suddenly appeared in the year 2020, adding both classic power-pop and Seventies-style Glam to their mix, then you’ll have some idea of what this band are all about. "I love this track "In My Teens" by Heatwaves…" - Genya Ravan "Heatwaves whose sounds have a flavor of the girls-band bands of the early sixties mixing it with power-pop and a punk attitude." - Ruta 66 "Overall it’s infectious." - Power Popaholic "Earworms galore! Earworms that you’ll welcome." - Pop Geek Heaven "'Hookworms!' Here, kid, try some of these, you'll be back for more." - "Boris" (aka The Secret Weapon) The playback of SACD and DSD recordings via it is tremendous in resolution, unrestricted in dynamics, organic in lyricism, palpable in silence, noble in sonority, transparent in decay, and majestic in presentation.Vinyl LP available at Family Spree Recordings: Unlike conventional digital playback, where there is always a ceiling limiting dynamic headroom, the Wadax flagship seemingly takes away this invisible ceiling.
The exceptionalism of it earns it a place in Divin Lab in Hong Kong, and the main studio of AE Singapore. Upcoming reviews from leading critics in the US and Europe will expound the technical mastery of it to the service of music. Audiotechnique will do the photography for an upcoming cover page before settling permanently at Lincoln’s home. Why would he go through such hassles under a COVID environment? We are about to deliver it to him. He even had to modify his rack in order to house the big Wadax DAC. Lincoln, who is a big fan of Audio Note UK decided to sell the ANUK flagship CD/DAC system in exchange for the Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC/Transport. The biggest shock comes from Lincoln Cheng of Audiotechnique. There were no reviews but AE sold 7 units. The price tag precludes widespread ownership, but facts proved otherwise in the past 12 months. It is not so easy to describe this DAC because it is better for anyone to experience it in a proper setup than me writing about it. Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC About Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC
