Gilgamesh's last album, recorded in June 1978 by Alan Gowen with Phil Lee, Trevor Tomkins and Hugh Hopper: seven pieces of Canterbury jazz-rock for electric piano, synthesizer and guitar.

CD version. Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into is the second album by Gilgamesh, the band led by keyboardist Alan Gowen. Gowen revived the group in 1977, after leaving National Health, and recorded the album in June 1978 with guitarist Phil Lee, drummer Trevor Tomkins and, on bass, Hugh Hopper, formerly of Soft Machine. The band stopped playing once it was finished, and Gowen died of leukaemia in 1981.

There are seven pieces. Bobberty - Theme From Something Else runs over ten minutes, Darker Brighter and Play Time take about six and seven, and Waiting, at two and a half, is an acoustic piece by Lee on his own. Gowen plays electric piano and synthesizer: long chords on one, quick melodic lines on the other, with jazz guitar and a rhythm section that changes pace underneath. The cover reproduces William Blake's painting The Ghost of a Flea.

Charly Records CD reissue, newly remastered, in a gatefold digisleeve with sleeve notes by Gowen.
