| Reviews: | ||
| The Silent Ballet, Blow Up, Wonderous Stories, Radio 3, Il Mucchio... "A hybrid of post-rock, electro-acoustics and pop, unlike anything else. Mexico may be the bands magnum opus. Highly recommended." THE SILENT BALLET (Joseph Sannicadro) “Un lavoro molto interessante e di difficile definizione. Fortunatamente. Un lavoro che a noi piace molto" BATTITI - RADIO 3 (Nicola Catalano) "Sparkle in Grey, assurément l’un des groupes italiens les plus intéressants de l’époque." AUTRES DIRECTIONS (Jérôme Olivier) "Un altro disco semplicemente meraviglioso. Tutto è perfetto in Mexico" IL MUCCHIO (Giovanni Linke) "Un progetto che oggi incarna una delle realtà più interessanti, sperimentali ed inclassificabili della scena elettronica nazionale." INDUSTRIAL [r]EVOLUTION (Giovanni Rossi) "Un disco veramente notevole e da apprezzare" WONDEROUS STORIES (D.A.) |

It is hard to define the true nature of “Mexico”, with its dark hues, but possibly not as melancholy as the previous works. The title speaks of escape, of shelter, a place anything but quiet, a land of contrast where desperate violence is generated by the economic gap.
The multi-coloured graphics and naïf artwork of the band suggest a glimmer of hope, possibly as a means to deceive the audience. The same artwork, entirely hand drawn, was used to make an animated video for the song “Goose Game”. The reasons why that song belongs to the previous record, and it took “Mexico” three years before it was released, are questions that will remain unanswered.
