When RAIN DOGS came out, Ribot became one of the major voices so much so that even his ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS disc couldn't tarnish his standing).
Although the Rootless Cosmopolitans stuff sounds quite outdated now, I think it was a good album for the time. While many bands in the early 90's were trying to figure out how to blend funk and rock in the trendiest way and the results were... well, the Peppers. Ribot managed to incorporate those and pop, free-jazz, noise, etc in a coherent way. I know many who could do without "The Wind Cries Mary" though. It sounds a bit better in the Shrek live album. It's a pity that Robert Quine is so underrecorded, specially considering how much Ribot owes him. Best, Efrén del Valle ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
