review by Sean Westergaard states, "The already eclectic Marc Ribot may have released his widest-reaching album to date with ''Soundtracks, Vol. 2''. From neo-Dixieland to spooky electronica to solo shakuhachi, Ribot turns in a head-spinning program of disparate genres that hang together surprisingly well as an album... Ribot's guitar credentials have never been in doubt, but his recent works for Tzadik is showing him to be an impressive composer with a broad palette as well".Westergaard, S
