This is a wonderful album, described as:"...the essence of surf-noir and spagetti-western with a twist of exotic schmaltz. Brace yourself, this is a darker beach party where the Mai-Tai's are spiked with Vicodin and no ones really sure who's good, bad or ugly...."

Sounds like this might be fun...is it a "wherehouse" type CD or "mail order"?

b0b has the CD. Click on catalog. I just unwrapped my disk before I left work and put it in the player on the way home.

Very very nice indeed!

You know, it is funny you should mention "Spaghetti Western"...I was thinkin' "Hang em High" on the first song. You nailed it.

Maybe just a taste of Tangerine Dream. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by David Weaver on 15 March 2002 at 09:58 PM.]</p></FONT>

I like it too, and so does my wife. It's not just new and different, it's really good.

I just got this one too! Really good playing. It's so different and the name is fitting. I hear his work as background movie material.
Gregg, my husband wondered who I'm listening to. Gary has many credits, but then he read's he jams for the cartoon "Sponge Bob Squarepants," That's so COOL! Way to go Gary! Love it! Theresa
