Even My Sure Things Fall Through
, Tucson's
Calexico
compiles eight European B-sides, remixes, covers, and other unreleased tracks, as well as three CD-ROM videos. Such albums often come off as hastily compiled and shoddily sequenced, but
's attempt at a rarities release is surprisingly coherent. From the then-unreleased opener,
"Sonic Wind (Instrumental Mix),"
to the elegantly lush remake of
American Music Club
's
"Chanel No. 5,"
the 45-plus minute EP manages to showcase wonderfully the band's deserted desert songs,
Tex-Mex
music, and arid
roots rock
. And while diehards may more fully appreciate having these hard to find titles all on one domestically released album,
should prove to be a mini treasure trove for new
fans as well. ~ Jimmy Draper
