The DVDr has a few very minor marks. It appears to play fine. The DVD case insert has a few very minor crease marks.
"It’s such a pleasure when a concert DVD is done right, and this one is an excellent example of the potential of this medium. Of course, it helps when it involves one of your favorite bands.
Calexico is one of the most interesting bands performing right now, both aurally and visually, and World Drifts In captures the band in all its glory during a festival at London’s Barbican hall in November 2002. The Tucson alt-rockers put on quite a show.
The main concert portion of the disc runs an hour and a half, and concentrates on songs from Feast of Wire, which was released earlier that year. But it covers songs from their other albums and singles as well, including The Black Light and Hot Rail. Things really kick into gear on the second number, an absolutely electrifying performance of “Sonic Wind” featuring jazzy muted trumpet from Jacob Valenzuela. Throughout, frontman Joey Burns runs the show with aplomb, taking lead vocal duties with his understated tenor; and drummer John Convertino contributes more than rhythm with his playful, colorful and always appropriate drumming. Martin Venk, like Valenzuela, plays trumpet, vibes, guitar, accordion and sings backup, Volker Zander plays contrabass and Paul Niehaus provides wonderful washes and accents with pedal steel...." - A Green Man review
