Sealed 1998 Original. "Deeper And Richer Than Their Debut, Spoke, Calexico's Second Album Expands Upon The Sun-Baked, Cinematic Sound Of Before With The Addition Of Latin Jazz Rhythms, Mariachi Trumpets, And Pedal Steel; In And Of Themselves, The Group's Songs Are Not Exactly Compelling, But They're Produced With Such A Fine Sense Of Texture And Atmosphere That The Black Light Still Makes For Intriguing Listening." - AMG
