5.0 out of 5 stars Music from a scary desert., 17 Feb 2000
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 Most interesting 'indie' record of the 80s, 4 Jun 2003
By A Customer
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'.
