    The backdrops feature dark sheets of strings and organ, the occasional lonely trumpet, and lumpy, superstitious drums driving the menacing Western mythos to its doom: not a forgiving place, but an engrossing one.

    It's all very definitely Walkabouts in its sound -- with some glorious lyrics from Chris Eckman

    It's Bowles's reflections on the silence of the desert, the way its stillness rearranges your molecular structure, that resonates with Travels In The Dustland.

    Conjures up a haunting, almost mythical American landscape of lost highways and endless skies. [Dec 2011, p.137]
