Where did I see this described as a sort of East L.A. "Another Green World?" Because it sort of is.

Thanks for reminding me of these guys. I liked the first lp alright but the song I truly loved was "Mr. Wobble" off the 'End of Violence' soundtrack.

Not quite - even at it's strangest, Latin Playboys sounds earthier and more familiar - but a great album nonetheless. I like Los Lobos' Kiko even more, but in a lot of ways, I prefer Latin Playboys over everything else they've done by a good margin. I don't know why everything works so well here and on Kiko - Froom's production can seem too mannered and self-conscious elsewhere.

In the sense that there are lots of different moods and fragments, I guess.
