Pistolero

Entertainment Weekly
Black's songs convey a rueful intelligence that keeps the album from becoming a new-wave retread.

Not as good as the film..........2007-05-06

I remembered the music in the movie as being a little better than it actually is. I was a little disappointed in the CD.

disappointing.......2007-03-26

It just wasn't what I thought it would be and I personally didn't like it. But it is good music.

it's all about the Malagueña.......2004-12-01

i loved the movie and the music there is good. i really like the Malagueña so i learned how to play it on guitar. the song is great i enjoyed the movie as much as i enjoyed the sound track

Start to Finish, a Real Mexi-CAN of a Soundtrack.......2004-11-30

Alright, so the main reason I got the soundtrack was Pistolero by Juno Reactor,a real driving, pumped-up techno song. I started to get into the rest of the music on the soundtrack, and I find it an essential cd I carry along with me. The great thing about this soundtrack is you can listen in on Mexican traditional music and a glimpse of the culture, and still have some real badass-sounding guitar! Whatever you may think of the film, you can imagine the actors playing their parts in your head, since they play and sing in the soundtrack (as the first one). There is an aura in the music I can't put my finger on; there's a history, an old feel to it, but it lingers with new musical ideas. Kinda like the movie, in terms of making it. I agree fullheartedly with previous reviews: where the movie fails, the music fills in the gaps and expands on Mexican music, making the entire movie/soundtrack experience very deep and epic. I dunno, maybe I'm rambling, but I emphasize that this soundtrack adds culture and kickass to your collection, as it did mine.

Better than the movie!.......2004-11-21

When I first saw this film I was shocked at its total stupidity. I was a big fan of the first Desperado and this sequel completely choked my enthusiasm. One thing that was good about this film though was the music. I have to admit it, the music was excellent and in harmony with the motion picture. The best tracks on this CD are Traeme Paz, El Mariachi and Siente Mi Amor (Salma Hayek brings out the best in her sensuality in this song). I'm not a big fan of Latino music but some of these songs are so beautiful they deserve to be listened to. Yo Te Quiero and Cuka Rocka both are well known songs and excellent to dance to, while Flor Del Mal is a very nice and chilling ballad. This CD is a great addition to your music collection, don't hesitate to buy it.

why CDs still sell.......2006-07-01

`Pistolero' by Juno Reactor is my `guilty pleasure' CD. After 2 disappointing digital downloads, I finally found the CD on Amazon.com (which I am eternally grateful.) Every western movie literally ran through my head while listening to Pistolero (does wonders with the right videogame). Worth a holding on to.

Intricate Electronica.......2004-02-04

I like this album ~ in the style of electronica, it has intricate sounds and a great beat. One can listen to it as background or enjoy the fascinating depth and varied sounds.

Awesome Song, Awesome group.......2003-06-23

I got this CD because I heard Juno Reactor's songs on The matrix Reloaded Album. Granted, this is VERY different, but really really cool. it is a single, but every track sounds noticably different. oh, and the cover art is just awesome, too.

A great track.......2000-11-28

As far as singles go, this one is very good. Granted, it is the same song, but one thing that's great about Juno Reactor is that their remixes always have something to set one apart from the other. "Pistolero" is no different.

Pistolero has one of the most unique sounds I've ever heard. It takes the pure trance of Beyond the Infinite and merges with it the sound of the music of spaghetti westerns. This may sound odd, but they pull it off amazingly. I listened to this single constantly for at least three days and was constantly singing the theme. One thing to be careful of though. If you really like this single, but haven't heard anything else by Juno Reactor, you may be dissapointed if you buy Shango, because Shango is not all like this. If you want to hear more Juno Reactor, check out Beyond the Infinite first, or the Samuari EP. If you like what you hear there, you'll most likely like Shango as well.

This track is worth the money. It's a very different sound that actually works.

He's not the Pixies front man anymore.......2001-03-10

When I first heard this album I was blown away! I am a huge pixies fan, but the only album I've really listened to of his solo stuff is "Cult of Ray" (an experience in mediocrity). I was wondering what this new band could do, well now I know Frank has the old magic back. This is a collection of 14 excellent songs. Frank Black could have gone in about 50 directions after the pixies, the sound he has chosen works. Totally grounded in a rock sound he manages to get the energy and unique song writing that made the pixies so captivating to listen to. Some of the standout tracks (hard to find when the whole album is so good) are "I Love Your Brain" "85 Weeks" "You're Such A Wire" and my personal favorite "So. Bay" I can not say enough good things about this album, it is up there with his work as Black Francis in the pixies. Get it as soon as possibile.

Two shows in 24 hours!.......2000-06-23

I was lucky enough to see Frank Black and the Catholics in Atlanta and then see them the next night in Athens. That's how much I like Pistolero!

Dancing To The New Bolero.......2000-05-14

It took Frank Black almost a decade before he realized there's only so many songs you can write about space. That doesn't mean I know what he's going on about in "Skelton Man", but it is nice to see him moving in a different direction. Pistolero is astounding, easily his best album since The Pixies split. In fact, it's better probably than the last two Pixies albums, so what we're talking about is Frank's best album since 1989's Doolittle. The band is tight, the songs just swagger and Frank's voice is better than I ever remember it sounding. Does anyone else hear a touch of Van Morrison in his voice--Especially in "Western Star"? And when he screeches "I Think I'm Starting To Looooose It", by god, you believe him. Absolutely inspired work.

"I'm ruler of this moon, boy, so if you move, I shoot.".......2000-04-11

This isn't the best of Frank Black but it is up there among them. Frank's art for 1999 is a collaboration of hard, raw rock music and those always clever lyrics. It is now even harder to understand his complex avant-garde poetry, but that's part of the fun. The music is razor-sharp and his vocals are wonderfully destroyed. (Not completely though. Check out the high, surf rock tone that he takes for the ending of "So.Bay".) So, in synopse, this is a good addition to the Black collection. (Word to the confused. Frank Black comes from an alternate dimension where he is an alien rock star. He used to do duets with Ziggy Stardust.)

My favorite album of 1999..........2000-02-24

...which isn't saying much, as the other albums I've bought which came out last year I can count on the fingers of one hand. But this is a great one, and is unusual for its capacity to bear repeat listens. Its raw sound and chunky, scrumptious distortion serve as the perfect medium for Frank's inimitable songwriting prowess to shine through. His delivery, as well as the whole band's, comes through with passion and aplomb, and has a fetching lack of artifice to it. Everything it is makes this an eminently enjoyable record.

Product Description

Atlanta veteran singer/songwriter Pallon Patrick s back catalogue of more than 250 songs are finally being realized through his current full band Pistolero. Leading the 70 s pre alt-country revival, Pistolero s regional popularity is soaring, they were spotlight artist on MAV music s national TV show (January 2007) and featured artist for Pabst Blue Ribbon s Live and Local (atlanta) show (November 2006). With the last fiore , Pistolero s 2007 full-length debut, one could easily compare Patrick s lighthearted yet heartfelt and often macabre narratives to the handsome family, wilco, the kinks and camper van Beethoven. A playful keyboard melody floats in and out of a fuzzed-out vocal and lazy ensemble performance that creates a mood that would raise the spirits of even the most jaded listener. Jon Dawson, Performer Magazine 2007

Pistolero, me gusta!.......2003-04-09

There must be a rare gene that causes me to love Frank Black as much as I do. That might explain why more people don't. Sure, people will fall all over each other to talk about how great the Pixies were, but Frank Black's solo efforts don't receive the same attention. He's lost his edge, he's mellowed, there's no Kim Deal, or some such.

I usually find something to be fascinated by in almost every song, whether it be a seething lick, catchy riff, acoustic flourish, tight lyric or alienized harmonies. Often all of these elements are present in the same song, which could be what makes Frank Black an aquired taste.

Pistolero delivers all of these elements with a straight-to-two-track urgency. Absent of the slick production found on earlier solo albums, Pistolero sits at a lower register and pounds out a consistent blast of rawk, replete with unexpected chord changes, melancholic discourse and frequent sonic eruptions of the kind that should send all those pretty tatooed boys back to the garage.

Solid rocker.......2002-12-17

Rambunctious, frolicking numbers that rock hard.

A socking, gyrating, pulverizing delivery to your brain cells that gets your feet tapping endlessly.

This man has his finger on the pulse of new rock and is creating one masterpiece right after the next. Stimulating lyrics and powerfully entertaining arrangements make anything he has released a must!

So Long Pixies..........2001-11-07

Along with Dog in the Sand and the self-titled first Catholics album, Frank Black has finally locked into his "new" sound. With Pistolero (the best of the three), the big man has shed the ghost of Kim Deal et al and established himself as a great modern rock songwriter. The Catholics not only add consistency to newer Black offerings, they are an incredibly tight band who can manage anything Sir Francis throws at them. The album's standout track, "I Switched You", should put to rest any worries that there isn't life after the Pixies, and will long be remembered as a classic standout during Black's no-nonsense, intense live shows. All of Frank's trademark pop-surf-thrash offerings are here, void of any rules and with enough key and tempo changes to keep everyone happy. Best of all, the Catholics keep up...and keep Black on course...

Frank-tastic!.......2001-10-24

I have always (well, mostly) lived my life as a lover of rock/roll by one basic principle: if a band is good, the solo careers of its various constituents will, not to put too fine a point on it, smell more or less exactly like poo. It's the difference between the Beatles and, uh, well, Wings. There used to be but one exception to this rule (the great and powerful Ozzy, natch), but there's another now, and his name is Frank Black.
See, Frank Black used to be known by the reverse epononym of Black Francis (actually, I hear his real name is Chuck, but whatever), and under this nom de guerre led the Pixies, who pretty much started the entire "alt" tidal wave o' effluent, but don't hold that against them. Anywho, Mr. Black started his solo career as exactly that with (hey) "Frank Black" (the album), a pretty much one man show. He imported some guest stars for "Teenager Of The Year" and "The Cult Of Ray", but then (I guess) decided to work with an honest-to-gosh band, which he dubbed The Catholics.
Which brings us to "Pistolero", 14 tracks of what (before college radio), used to be called "rock". And no, there's nothing ironic intended by that phrase; what Frank Black has done is to bring to the XXI century a tasty combo of riffs that are as catchy as Mexican barbed wire, layered with the man's usual astronaut-on-methedrine lyrical concerns. In other words, it kicks out the jams, all righty, but it also goes far beyond "dust in wind/be my big lovin' mamma" blah blah. "Billy Radcliffe" is a snappy acoustic cautionary tale, "Western Star" tosses in one of the best Bowie namechecks in recent memory, and "I Want Rock & Roll" reminds those of us who are old enough of a time when all you needed was a cheap AM radio (and possibly a little something out of Mom 'n' Dad's liquor cabinet) to make life worthwhile. If you're a fan of rock, rock & roll, et al, you should own this album, and give a few of your pennies to a man who has done far more to deserve it than, say, a whole barn full of Blues Travelers.
