Bugger, nothing on iTMS

However, I *did* find a couple of Gotan Project tracks Peter Kruder  
mixed, one of which was on an album ("Inspiració - Esperación" - it's  
got some cool Tango on it that I know Bob would like) that had this  
cool, mellow jazz standard on it:

(Round Midnight for those not iTunes-blessed)
UKP0.79 well spent!

Sounds like a lot of stuff that used to play on the old Secret Agent

iTunes is *now* playing Downtempo Lounge Spy music from "Secret Agent:  
The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spys  
and P.I.'s too! [SomaFM]"

soundtrack.
