Wow, I was just listening to it! I can't imagine it would be universally
loved by all on the IDM list, but I think it r0x0rz. Me llamo el
desaparacido...
Of course, I was a huge fan of Mano Negra (I heard "The Rebel Spell" in a
skate video when I was 15, and oddly enough I managed to find the record
:) heh. If you don't have any of them, get "Puta's Fever", then get the
rest. Think crazed street muscians in several different languages with a
baddass horn section.... nice nice nice. Absolutely not IDM. I and M,
but no "D".)
There are parts of it that would probably seem cooler if I didn't speak
english, and it's frustrating not to totally understand the lyrics at
times, but those are problems you're going to encounter with anything
outside of one's native tongue :)
One of my coworkers freaked out when she heard me listening to "King of
the Bongo" which was apparently an overplayed MTV hit in Italy *shrug*
