{Gomez}
Five Men In A Hut is a retrospective album that looks back over the career of Mercury Prize-winning indie-blues band. For the uninitiated, this is a good introduction to the band's back catalogue. However, it should be noted that this is not a Best Of, but a collection of their singles, flipsides and unreleased tracks from their Virgin/Hut period (1998-2004). With 36 tracks this collection does feature some (though not all) of Gomez' best work and all three lead vocalists are represented. The album also features two unreleased tracks "Old China" and "Diskoloadout". Here's the tracklisting...
