    I really love this song:

    click here for small mp3 file

    It's sort of Peter Gunn-ish, Mancini/Lalo sounding. Got that hip, secret agent sound going for it.

    I'm dying to find more (lots more!) like it, can anyone recommend anything?

    Thanks!

    HZ,

    I also hear some surf guitar in there....sort of like Dick Dale plays the soundtrack to the new Austin Powers movie....

    Yeah, definitely!

    I think it's that walking bass line that kinda skews it more towards a jazzy feel than you typically get with surf music.

    It sounds quite close to the "Orange Symphonette" albums on Ryko to my ears. They've also done a "Mancini" album, I think.

    Maybe Los Straitjackets, but I only hear one guitar not two.

    It sounds like the Blue Hawaiians. I can post some mp3's in a newsgroup or e-mail them for your perusal

    I have nooooo idea!

    I wonder if HZ is playing a joke on us? Here's my guess:

    It's an obscure but locally famous band called Holy Zoo!

    Right? :D

    Is it Mad Season? I found that they had kind of a alt-rock / jazz mix that fits that groove....couldn't be an off the wall AIC track?

    My guess wasn't a guess. It's R.E.M.

    Unfortunately, I don't think they ever did anything else very similar.

    Yes indeed, he wasn't guessing. It's called "Rotary Ten" by REM, on their "Dead Letter Office" collection of b-sides.

    And nope, they never did anything else in this style.

    So, looks like I should check out Orange Symphonette, eh?
