A few Clash imitations show up, but so do multidirectional time warps. Songs skew toward Appalachia with banjos, plunge into psychedelic loops and echoes, unleash theremin on "The Call Up" and the Persian wail of Haale on "One More Time." Members of the Clash wanted their songs to reverberate worldwide; "The Sandinista! Project" proclaims that they succeeded. And it not only insists that the original album hung together but goes on to take the sprawl of "Sandinista!" even further.
The Sandinista Project is now on eMusic.
Awesome!

Get ready to hear from all the weirdos you barely knew 20 years ago!
