GCCO CD: Held Together With Holes

The post may be a little late for what any of us may have wanted, but here we go: GCCO actually has a CD now! At long last, we can answer the perennial question, "just what kind of music do you guys play again?" with, "here, we sound like this." Booyah!

The disc documents some of the work that GCCO managed during the period 2006-2007, with a couple of live performances from 2004 (graciously captured by others) thrown in for good measure. With Nathan's move to the Chicago area imminent, we wanted to capture some of the original material we'd worked on, as well as a few other things we had available to us at session time. So, with the invaluable help of our friends Andy and Chris, we convened for a session and laid down ten tracks, including three circulations, three originals, an original arrangement, and two Guitar Craft standards. Later, Dave and Kevin recorded three more tunes, restored the live tracks from their respective raw sources, and happily accepted Andy's restoration of a fourth live track from the Rock N Soul Cafe in 2006. We then found an online disc-duplication service at Mixonic, and soon had a supply of CDs in-hand and ready to go.

It is definitely a first effort--we learned a tremendous amount during the process--but we're pretty happy with it as such. In general it's a good representation of what you might hear GCCO play at one of those strange places that accepts such hooligans.

We're not exactly set up for merchandising, but if you're interested in getting your hands on a copy, please feel free to contact Kevin directly, at kwilmeth AT us DOT ibm DOT com.

A note to any of you who may have received a cracked copy of this CD by mail... Cathy and Kevin sent a number of these discs out by mail using a specialized mailer sleeve that we bought just for the purpose, and to our horror, it appears that either the sleeves do not do the job, or the post office must have sent them all through a right-angle bend. Either way, if you own a cracked disc, please contact Kevin (kwilmeth AT us DOT ibm DOT com) and we'll try to get a new one out to you.

In reading over the content after posting, it occurred to me to note that there is an error in the credits for The Third Relation. Curt Golden insists that the piece was written by Robert Fripp. This did not make it into the printing run, and the image here is captured from the printed run. A minor point, but we try to be correct!
