The Label said:
An album of live-recorded instrumental music in two sets. in set one, califone improvises to film loops projected by jeff economy and carolyn faber - music reacts to images as images react to music. in the second set, califone performs a live soundtrack to the extraordinary puppet/animation film the mascot (1933) in which the dustbins of paris disgorge skeletal demons for a midnight fête...for this recording, califone is rebecca gates, gillian lisee, tim rutili, joe adamik, ben massarella and jim becker. recorded mixed and edited by joe ferguson.
My opinion: Not so strong as the two other albums, but worth hearing.

Instrumental music recorded live at the block cinema in Evanston, IL November 3rd, 2001. In the first set Califone improvise music to film loops by Jeff Economy and Carolyn Faber. In the 2nd set, they perform a soundtrack to Ladislav Starewicz's puppet film "The Mascot". Buy record at ( CD currently not in stock ) Greatest Hits Mailorder (D) ändern

Ihr Label bezeichnet den Stil von Califone als Industrial Folk. Das macht durchaus Sinn, da es nichts mit Cowboy Romantik zu tun hat. Der Sound ist weit weg von üblichem Country, wenngleich Country die musikalische Basis bildet. Hervorstechend ist der instrumentelle Minimalismus, der durch die Intensität des Ausdrucks die Ohren weit öffnet - bis man jede Oberschwingung der Gitarrensaiten spüren kann. Dennoch kommt nie Langeweile auf, die mit raw feelings aufgeladene Atmosphäre der Songs läßt das nie zu. Zusammen mit Sin Ropas und Grandpa´s Ghost zur Zeit das beste aus diesem Genre der Psychedelic. alie
