Title: Not worth your money
Review: This CD is garbage. A totally pointless release from an otherwise great band.I think Spoke, their first CD is their best CD, followed by the brilliant Black Light, their second CD. Hot Rail, their third CD, has some really good moments, but has a lot of throw away stuff as well. I also liked them better live as a duo then what they are doing now with a full band. So I guess what I am saying is that their earliest stuff is their best, and it progressively gets, not worse, but lets just say less interesting/more predictable. I haven't by any means given up on them and am keeping my fingers crossed for their new CD, already recorded, that is supposed to come out in the spring of 2003. Also, the stuff that they did on Neko Case's, Black Listed, is amongst the best stuff they've ever done, along with their contributions to Giant Sand's, Chore Of Enchantment. Calexico's vinyl only, Descamino-The Black Light Remixes, is also worth checking out if you can find it. It's brilliant.
Is the review positive or negative?
