St. Cecilia's: Ritual Of Hearts and White Sands

• Tracklisting

2008 digitally remastered two CD collection of songs recorded between 1995 and 2002, including nine previously unreleased songs, which present a graceful invitation into the musical journey of this reclusive band. Maquiladora create songs from a sense of place and this CD is a new take on their early works. Eric Nielsen, Bruce McKenzie and Phil Beaumont (with occasional guests from Black Heart Procession, Modest Mouse and the God Machine) approach music from all sides, a sound which conjures up moods of the deserts and oceans providing a landscape that is both familiar and remotely distant.
