More Info:
Fire Records re-issues the rare and regarded Black Out recording from 1993. Forged from the embers of the recording session which was Purge & Slouch, and wholly acoustic, this collection of takes was originally released only in Germany. Black Out sits proudly amidst the Giant Sand re-issue project. "When we gathered for the grand experiment of 'purge & slouch" Howe Gelb recalls, "the idea of which was to record without having written anything prior for it." Some actual songs did pop out, perhaps for the sake of warm-up or while mic's were being wired.. maybe just for the sake of vigorous deployment.. re-living some old songs there and then, we bundled em up after the fact for what would become "stromausfall" instead. " "This was a limited batch release on a small German label who took my original title "black out" and translated it.. The idea being that this is the sound that would happen during one.. songs without electricity attached".
