Electric Gauchos: Tiny Orchestral Tracks 

Steve: Electric Gauchos was born in 1997 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and it was born out of my wish to bring driving rhythm to the already intensity of the driving, textural guitar work that had been developing within 12 years of global Guitar Craft collaborations.

Special thanks to Pablo Mandel for the bass line hook in this version of "Dark" where it emerged during the 'Greenthumb' recording sessions at Martin Schwutke's Buenos Aires flat on Pueyrredón in 1996.
