Nice LP. I enjoyed the more abstract efforts like the 2nd half of #1 Origin and #3 Abyss. Apparently Garvey founded a robot theatre company called Theatre Concrete in San Francisco, and composes music for the Omnicircus company's multimedia live shows. Thanks for sharing something new on the internet.

ReplyDeleteseems like something billy would dig.
I just discovered your blog ... T.H.X.! This Heat! Other Music! ... More like Insanity Muffins! Looking forward to checking some of these out.
ReplyDeleteDo you, by any chance, have the other release from Other Music called "Prime Numbers." If so, I would greatly appreciate your posting it.
Regardless, thanks a million.

im surprised the light show never became anything more than a tripped out fad. seems like these guys might have been trying to resurrect it.

ReplyDeleteI live with Frank Garvey, in a place actually called the OmniCircus. You can find it here omnicircus.com and you contact Frank through the website as well. You should talk to Frank about posting this music. He still does music. You can hear it here myspace.com/omnicircus
