Argentina-born, California-based Gustavo Santaolalla helped shape the rock en Español movement by producing Mexican bands Molotov and Café Tacuba , and Colombian singer Juanes. In the late 1990s he made a switch to soundtracks, working on well-received albums for Amores Perros and The Motorcycle Diaries. His instrumental contributions to Ang Lee's tale of two cowboys in love are acoustic guitar-based and, let's face it, a bit on the sonic-wallpaper side.The vocal tracks, on the other hand, are uniformly lovely, even if the selection of interpreters falls on the predictable side. Linda Ronstadt, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and Mary McBride on the soundtrack to a contemporary Western? What a shock! Still, they're all wonderful and Santaolalla wrote at least a couple of classic-sounding country ballads ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old," sung by Emmylou Harris, and "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," sung by Mary McBride). And don't miss Teddy Thompson and Rufus Wainwright's sweet cover of Roger Miller's 1964 "King of the Road." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Second album from Dan 'Manitoba' Snaith. For fans of Boards Of Canada, Eno & Aphex Twin. Domnio. 2003.Customer Reviews:
Manitoba/Caribou will never stale........2005-09-29
This album is not as immediately accessible as the first one, but it has a soul that is very worth getting to know. The songs often rock in an almost Neutral Milk Hotel kind of way, and yet the the use of handclaps and kicky beats is unprecedented, and the organic use of xylophone is astonishingly happy, especially in the song "Crayon," which starts as a bright, instrumental xylophone piece and becomes a New Order/Joy Division celebration.
This album is perfect for listening to as you drive dirt roads late at night. All Manitoba/Caribou is. Every album of theirs is so different from the others, yet there's always that certain something that you can recognize in the core of it. ...Like seeing an old friend who's really grown into someone new and amazing, yet is still the same old pal you ditched school with.
Accept "Up in Flames" as something new and different, love it for the wonderful thing that it is, and keep an eye out for whatever Dan Snaith does next. It's bound to be good.
mutten skewers oregano.......2005-08-20
Unfortunately I found the rest of the album to be lacking. I found it nothing like the amazing Boards of Canada albums. In short, I was disappointed. The tracks are generally too fruity and fluffy for my tastes, or just plain uninteresting with the above exception and a couple other anomalous keepers. This album will not take you to quadrant six, sector 4. It will take you to quadrant fart, sector bum.
(another) contender emerges from the north..........2005-06-11
it's hilarious how the world's all amazed as to the 'recent' influx of canadian-born artists hitting the music scene with full force nowadays... an effect of course caused by both a self-imposed patriotic humility and an externally-imposed strategy of dumbing-down mainstream quality (we don't need to name names, do we?!?)... this as to not divulge the relationship between having a more 'chilled' location/background and exuding raw talent and unabashed creativity... (shhh. don't tell anyone. big big secret.)
well, as dan said once in an interview, "ever heard of Rush?". indeed. ok, what about Neil Young? Leonard Cohen? the Guess Who? still with me? then, the Hip (and gord's on the all-time canuck list, btw... see his 'Coke Machine Glow'), and matt good (underdogs, beautiful midnight, audio of being) kept the torch alive for a bit, and now it's GYBE (and family), the arcade fire, broken social scene, hot hot heat, dears, stills, sexsmith, wainwright, on and on... so please, once in for all, forget the heavily-exported big three cheesy-canuckian-divas (again, no names here!)
As for this album, truly deserving to be spoken of in the same breath as the above, it very much does have a "loveless" feel to it, eh? 'folktronica' is what we're calling it, apparently. indeed, you get kevin shields to take some of hebden's LSD, and have him close to a drum kit at its onset, and what happens next would come out sounding very similar to this.... hm. maybe, maybe not, but u get the idea.
quite hard for me to verbalise on this one, since the whole of Up in Flames is a aural jem, a genuine classic. rarities like that are always going to be somewhat ineffable (and that's one of the artist's goal, i would think). i therefore hesitate to include favorite tracks here, since it may lead some to ignore the rest (so don't!).
having said that (ahem):
Skunks: with the frog crocks at bookends, and all the swirling guitars and crazy drumming in between. an all-timer, this one. everyone should include it on at least one of their summer mixes.
Hendrix with KO: as pop as it gets on here. includes flickering piano rolls & flutes throughout, and maybe a farting balloon
Jacknuggeted: such a catchy anthem! more hand-clapping, and all the cresendos/climaxes you'll ever need
Bijoux: just the explosion from the acid-xylophone intro into the drugged-drums transition, and then all those do-do-do's is well worth it. flurries of crashes, glockenspiels and warped drum-kits, as if the full instrumental blitzkrieg was just called on
Kid You'll Move Mountains: isn't this uplifting?!? the bent jazz man on the flute to start, and the twisted baroque marching band loop to end. i love this one.
Every Time She Turns Round: a take on Mercury Rev's Chasing a Bee, and great way to end it, esp. the joyous group bee-bopping at the end...
(of course, the others are killer too, but you'll read about them elsewhere.)
btw, the story behind the caribou/manitoba switch has been overplayed to no end (big deal, right?), but the album under the new monicker is quite different, and will blow you away just as much. this guy's our Next Big Thing, just you watch. i did. and they were soooo out into space at richard's on richard's last week!! all that crazy dual-drumming, all the chaos. just nuts. bravo!!!

p.s. nothing wrong with 'old brown acid dunk tanks' if this is the output, eh dan?
from the perspective of ignorance.......2005-05-09
I've lived on a dirt road all my life- bird calls, whispering vocals
Skunks- crickets, jazz improve saxaphone
Hendrix with ko- toe tapping, hand claps
Jacknuggeted- simple guitar chords, childlike hummings,
Why the long face- ???
Bijoux- raining chimes, folk rock, bah bah bahhhh bah bah bah and some violins at the end
Twins- a couple of guitar chords followed by drums from a high school football game (WOW!!!)
Kid you'll move mountains- flutes floating in the atmosphere, shimerring vocals, video game sounds
crayon- child giggles, xylophones, dogs barking and old school electronic effects
Everytime she turns round it's her birthday- vocally the strongest track, hummings and hand claps, jazz, silence
Up in Flames is founded on psychadelic shimmerings complete with hand claps, glockenspiles and animal sounds. I guess if you're going to label it you could try folktronica but which has recently come in for some stock by the stylus magazine people. Hope fully you've got a sense from my 'descriptions' that this album is composed of some wierd and wonderful instruments. The vocals are not a strong point of the album but the instrumentation is fascinating and there are some really melodic omoments. There's also a couple of pop-folk- toe tappers which are great- Hendrix with Ko for instance. I imagine if you like this record you'd probably have some Animal Collective records, mabye Boards of Canada, some psychadelic pop records. I didn't intially like it but know I think it's pretty good.
