9/10
“…The six songs that make up March Of The Zapotec were entirely written, recorded and inspired by Zach Condon and the nineteen piece Mexican Jimenez Band… Condon, the only English speaking member of the ensemble adds lyrics to a couple of the tracks, but otherwise heard as instrumental arrangements, the songs are densely layered with indigenous as well as contemporary instruments bridging Beirut’s sound with those of the Zapotec people…” – Nick

9/10
“…This is the fourth in a series of remastered reissues by Matador, a sort of fancy dalliance that can only come from either record company recession pains or a shitload of cash… Many of these sorts of releases are shallow and unnecessary, clearly cash-ins, but this actually seems like it has useful, interesting stuff for fans… Get it for the insanely good unreleased material, but if that’s not enough (and it should be!) know that the article by Ross in the booklet is utterly inciteful and will blow your mind as well…” – Sarah
