1994. Blanco y Negro.
On first listen:
I used to have this album on CD back about the time it first came out but this is the first time I have listened to it on vinyl, not to mention the first time I've listened to it in years. I guess you could say it's the first time I've listened to it with educated ears. Those songs that stuck out the first time are still there sticking out and familiar: Hope Sandoval still sings and hippy chicks want to shoot heroin and Shane MacGowan sings and you can still feel it in his voice and you want to drink along with him. Not as dense sonically, more folksy than shoegaze, but a more "mature" JMC album. Not my favorite album, but still a great rainy day record.
