Spain it s so true
Singles
From this album, “I Lied”, “Dreaming of Love”, and “Ray of Light” were released in some form as singles.
“Untitled #1” (for which a video was recorded) appears on the soundtracks to the films Winter Sleepers (1997), Phoenix and Somewhere in the City (both 1998).
Reception
In a review, Richie Unterberger (AllMusic) writes that "Spain succeed at evoking a brooding, late-night atmosphere", and appreciates the "seductive drones (with lots of languorous guitar/basslines and shuffle drums) and melancholy, pensive songs." However, he adds that "It's a bit monotonous all at once", and gives the album three stars.
