"Top of the world" - "There are plenty of great albums that seem to define a moment in time but, as the zeitgeist moves on, they come to sound trapped in their era. Far rarer are those albums like Manu Chao's Clandestino that capture the spirit of their age but continue to sound fresh and vibrant from one generation to the next ... A radical multicultural manifesto with a carnival spirit, Clandestino gave voice to the dispossessed and soundtracked dreams for a better tomorrow. Those dreams may have since been dashed but Chao's irresistible global party rhythms and the message of hope have lost none of their potency. Three bonus tracks bring the story up to date via a cracking reworking of the title-track featuring Calypso Rose, a new song 'Bloody Bloody Border' that seeks to blow a giant hole in Trump's wall and 'Roadies Rules', a new version of a previously unreleased track from the original Clandestino sessions".
