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. quot;When we gathered for the grand experiment of purge & slouchquot; Howe Gelb recalls, quot;the idea of which was to record without having written anything prior for it.quot; Some actual songs did pop out, perhaps for the sake of warm-up or while mics 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 quot;stromausfallquot; instead. quot; quot;This was a limited batch release on a small German label who took my original title quot;black outquot; and translated it. The idea being that this is the sound that would happen during one. songs without electricity attachedquot.
