Blackout Curtains for Bedroom - Thermal Insulated, Light Blocking, Noise Reducing - Perfect for Home, Office, Nursery & Shift Workers (Black)

Fire Fidelity reissues 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 reissue 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 mics were being wired... maybe just for the sake of vigorous deployment. Reliving 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 that 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'. Since then, most of that original pressing made in Germany has mysteriously self destructed so it is with pleasure we have the opportunity to release the album again.
