Gate- Sunshine/Ives



Long running solo/side project of Dead C guitarist Michael Morely.  The A side is Gate at its most Dead C-ish.  With an actual guitar riff, drums, and vocals, this one comes off as very similar to what remained of recognizable song structure c. harsh 70's reality.  B side is one of Morley's guitar improv & record loops pieces.

Various- I Hear The Devil Calling Me


This excellent early Drag City release is among the best of a handful of great Xpressway Records comps that popped up in the early/mid 90's.  Despite the limitations of format, this release manages to squeeze in 12 bands in roughly as many minutes.  A concise, but surprisingly accurate overview of the label.  Featuring:
 1. Alastair Galbraith
 2. A Handful of Dust
 3. Peter Jefferies
 4. OLLA
 5. The Renderers
 6. The Dead C
 7. Gate
 8. Cyclops
 9. Dadamah
10. David Mitchell
11. Queen Meanie Puss
12. Stephen Kilroy
