Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - IMO, the best album of the '90s! From the moment I heard the first notes of Calexico's "The Black Light", I was hooked. It replaced Swell's "41" as my favorite album of the 1990s. Desert film-noir soundtrack music at its best (and way better than FODM!). Dark, brooding, and introspective, yet thematic, inspirational, and haunting. A must listen for fans of Cormac McCarthy's epic book "Blood Meridian". Imagine being lost in a dusty town of ill repute, asking an old drifter for directions, and he says "follow her hands, to the dark end of the street..." Also, one question for the Calexico faithful, does anyone know if their new album "Tete a tete" really coming out Jan. 25th? CMJ says April. Quarterstick Records will release "Descamino" on Jan. 18th, which includes remixes of "The Black Light". Rating: - Don't Stop Now Congratulations. You've come this far. You should be proud. You're one of the few, the elite, that has now associated themselves with Calexico. Don't be frightened. That's it. Everything's going to be ok. There, there. Let Calexico take care of you. There's no need to worry. Everything's going to be alright. Go ahead, buy the album. Reading about it isn't going to do you any good. It's been long overdue, and now it's time to listen. Put everything down. Forget your worries. Love Calexico. It's that good. Rating: - ethereal, dreamlike and a MUST HAVE Ahh, the world that is Calexico...once you've heard "The Black Light" and their early effort, "Spoke", you'll never want to leave Calexico's vision of what our world should be: smooth, mischievous, cultural, sorrowful, slightly representative of a jam session, sadly sweet (the kind that leaves a Mona Lisa smile on one's face), and wholly remarkable. Throw in a couple of fiestas and this album is a solid listen. If you hear only one song on this CD, catch "Bloodflow." Its slow, sensuous crescendo will set you on fire. A friend loaned me her CD and after a couple of weeks, commented that I was going to overdose on it - that's how good "The Black Light" is. Even after all those rotations, I'm still listening and appreciating nuances not caught in the first few go-rounds. If you haven't already guessed, I highly recommend this album.
