The Gil Evans Orchestra - Out Of the Cool
I've been a fan of the odd tune I've heard over the last 2 or 3 years, only just got round to grabbing an album with this guy's name on it. I'm a lazy bastard like that. That album's just great. Try listening to Giant Sand if you end up liking these guys. |

Try listening to everything else by Calexico
But The Black Light is definitely one of the best things they've ever done. You thought 80 pounds was depressing? I just spent about 250 euro's. I was in my music store today and they keep a lot of things behind the counter for me. The pile of records was getting bigger and bigger and, quite frankly, I wanted to get rid of it. So... (clickable!) Left to right, top to bottom: CD's: Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun / Acid Dreams Epitaph / Kyuss - And the circus leaves town / Burton, Corea, Metheny, Haynes, Holland - Like Minds LP's: The Electric Crayon Set / Psychotronica Vol. 2 / Wooden Shjips - West / Dexter Gordon - Dextor Blows Hot and Cool Strummin' Mental 5 / Can Soundtracks / Radio Moscow - The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz / Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints Sun Dial - Other Way Out / / Strummin' Mental 1 / The Bevis Frond - The Leaving of London.

Yeah, I've got Birth Of the Cool and Sketches Of Spain. Didn't know Gil Evans was on those but, then again, jazz history is far from an area of expertise for me. I knew Evans primarily through his work on the Absolute Beginners soundtrack before, I'll hunt down those other Miles albums in the fairly near future as well.
