Watson's from both Cabaret Voltaire & the Hafler Trio, but I think his solo field recording work is some of his most fascinating. Recreation of a cross-country train journey in Mexico, where passenger train routes between cities barely exist any longer (though there's a great big subway system in Mexico City). Hence the title- the Ghost Train, and Watson's narrative does permeate by osmosis rather than hit you straight on. Soothing rhythmic rumbles that change their envelopes depending on the canyons, valleys, or flatlands around them. Tones of horns & bells slide around behind the chugging Tracklisting: El Divisadero The Telegraph, Veracruz The Tunnel.
