5.0 out of 5 stars Most interesting 'indie' record of the 80s 4 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Much of what came out of the 80's now sounds tired and dated, especially the synth burblings of Yazoo, Howard Jones and their ilk, glam pop and most of all, 'indie'. A few recordings have made it through the decades and still sound fresh, largely because they were pretty off-kilter and out of vogue in the first place. Along with the Associates and Its Immaterial WoV were the most interesting and unusual by a long chalk. 'Call of the West' is a a terrific mutation of 'Twin Peaks'/'6 foot under'/'Paris Texas' weird-out Americana with twangy guitars, spooky harmonica, programmed drum beats, keyboard driven melodies and Stan Ridgeway's twisted vocals. Highlights are 'Mexican Radio' - the best 'indie' single of the 80's, 'They dont want me' and 'On Interstate 15'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music from a scary desert. 17 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
The band that should have been the biggest thing ever, maybe. But they were ours.

Amazing song writing, musically, ordered chaos, but done so skillfully it sounded perfect.

Listen to this and find where the eighties could have gone so much better, no twee-ness, no gloss, no right on politics.

My own perfect personal musical moment came when listening to this on a hot dusty road in Spain one night while scorpions scuttled accross.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not really a guilty pleasure 7 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
One of those albums I put on all the time. The laid back vocals of Stan Ridgway are outstanding. Also great are the songs and the basic electronic instruments used all add to the charm. This would definitely be one of my desert island discs.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most important albuns from the 80's 21 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is the only album of Wall of Voodoo with Stan Ridgway, and it is one of the best albuns in the 80's. Wall of Voodoo was one of the most important Californian bands in the early 80's, in the undergroud movement. There is also a compilation - Grandma's House, songs and Stories - with songs from previous EPs,released only in limited editions.
