	Wall of Voodoo: Best Music from the 1980s
		Wall of Voodoo had its roots in Acme Soundtracks, an unsuccessful film score business started by Stan Ridgway, later the vocalist and synth player for Wall of Voodoo.
		The band was named Wall of Voodoo before their first gig in reference to a comment made by Joe Berardi, a friend of Ridgway's.
		When Ridgway jokingly compared the multiple-drum-machine- and Farfisa-organ-laden recordings to Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Berardi commented it sounded more like a "wall of voodoo", and the name stuck.

	Wall Of Voodoo - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		To the uninitiated, Wall of Voodoo is best known as an obscure Eighties band responsible for the minor hit “Mexican Radio”, available on their 1982 album Call of the West.
		Track three is one of the best songs in the WoV oeuvre, a musically catchy and lyrically evocative tale of harsh street life in Hollywood, and track fourI dunno what it's about, but it's mesmerizing and, not incidentally, a bit creepy.
		And almost, but not quite, trite: track ten, WoV's lone hit, "Mexican Radio," is the next-to-last song on the album; if it had been last, that would have qualified as a live album cliché, but it is disqualifed on the grounds of not being the last song on the disc.

	Seven Days in Sammystown - Wall of Voodoo - Song Listings
		Wall of Voodoo's Seven Days in Sammystown was the work of a radically different band than the one that gave the world "Mexican Radio" and its classic parent album Call of the West just a few years earlier.
		Also, for longtime Wall of Voodoo fans, underappreciated guitarist Marc Moreland is allowed to step to the fore on several cuts and show off his skill at both old-style Western picking and modern electronic dissonance and distortion.
		If Wall of Voodoo had decided to change their name and reinvent themselves as a "new" band, Seven Days in Sammystown might have been considered their promising, if flawed, debut.

	fUSION Anomaly. Voodoo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Voodoo combines elements of Roman Catholicism and tribal religions of western Africa, particularly Benin.
		During voodoo rituals, the worshipers invoke the Ioa by drumming, dancing, singing, and feasting, and the Ioa take possession of the dancers, enabling them to perform cures and give advice.
		National Geographic article on voodoo, told me in an interview that he felt "real lucky, because it seemed to me that the original African religious impulse really lends itself much more to a computer world than anything in Western religion...It almost seems as though those religions are dealing with artificial intelligence.".

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Wall Of Voodoo: The Index Masters
		Format Reviewed: CD Wall Of Voodoo's quirky new wave was a far cry from the Southern California punk that populated LA's underground music scene in the late 1970s.
		The band first formed to compose soundtracks for the film and television industry, but soon came to be recognized for their unique brand of subversive synth-pop.
		Wall Of Voodoo existed at a distance from the craziness of the LA punk scene, but their music's mechanical vision owes nothing to the commercial music scene, either.

		Struggling in an era of musical slump, Wall of Voodoo create an original sound and album that would stand the test of time, if anyone knew about it.
		It is rich, slightly off, a clashing of genres to show their variety of influences, and once you enrich yourself in it, very much the sound of Wall of Voodoo.
		Where Wall of Voodoo succeeds is in drawing you into their world, and once they have you there, anything they throw at you makes sense.

	Wall of Voodoo - Dark Continent: Deaconlight.com
		Off the top of my head, I can't say what could have been a so-called radio hit but it would have been nice if people had heard Wall of Voodoo before the smash hit "Mexican Radio" so they would realize there is so much more to this band than that one song.
		It's true that Wall of Voodoo's music is very electronic, but it's more about rhythm than synthesizers, at least I think so.
		That's a compilation of the first Wall of Voodoo EP along with some extra live tracks mostly from Dark Continent songs.

	Amazon.com: Wall Street Voodoo: Music: Roine Stolt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Wall Street Voodoo was written in the spirit of the late 60’s early 70’s rock and blues, drawing on influences like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Procol Harum, and the Allman Brothers Band and combining that sound with the more experimental styles of Steely Dan, The Beatles, and Frank Zappa.
		If you are thinking of buying Wall Street Voodoo, the new solo album of Roine Stolt, you'd better forget about the countless prog monuments Stolt has created with his own band The Flower Kings or his side projects with Transatlantic, The Tangent, and even Kaipa.
		With all of these things taken into consideration, Wall Street Voodoo certainly serves its purpose as a solo album, and I am glad Stolt got these ideas out of his system in order not to be confused during the writing process for the next Flower Kings offering.

		While Wall of Voodoo may end up in the video cycle on VH1âs One-Hit Wonders/Where Are They Now?/Totally 80âs show, they were never a single single band either.
		This is before âMexican Radio,â and it shows that Ridgway and Wall of Voodoo are on par with David Byrne and the Talking Headsâ angular punk that blasts out tunes from a place of make believe reflecting reality.
		The album includes Wall of Voodooâs incredible interpretation of Johnny Cashâs âRing of Fire,â with a New Wave keys vamp, plucked Western electric guitar, and Ridgwayâs mainly spoken vocal.

	Wall Of Voodoo - Pandora Internet Radio
		Best known for their alternative radio classic "Mexican Radio," Wall of Voodoo formed in Los Angeles in 1977, originally as a soundtrack company.
		With the additions of bassist Bruce Moreland and his brother Marc on guitar (replacing Noland), the band's sound crystallized on 1981's full-length Dark Continent, which couched Ridgway's highly stylized and cinematic narratives -- heavily influenced by Westerns and film noir, and sung in the vocalist's distinctively droll, narcoleptic manner -- in atonal, electronically-based settings.
		In 1982, following the exit of Bruce Moreland, Wall of Voodoo released Call of the West, which featured "Mexican Radio," their biggest hit.
