Altered Zones

In the late '70s, when everyone else was spreading studio Rumours, Gary Wilson was at home, quietly recording his opus of electronic-weirdo-lounge called You Think You Really Know Me-- a record that found common ground between Ziggy Stardust and Just Being Myself. It's a home-recorded release some of our favorite contemporary self-sculpted expressionists, like Ariel Pink and R. Stevie Moore, are indebted to.

On October 25, Wilson and Feeding Tube Records will release a limited edition of 1000 vinyl LPs of material from that era, called Forgotten Lovers. It will include an album made prior to the '77 release of You Think You Really Know Me, the resultant singles from that record, and some other studio recordings from the period. The sounds on the upcoming release are said to be more "porn-soundtrack-jazz-funk," which doesn't sound too far off the mark from Wilson's previous best. --Dale W. Eisinger, Altered Zones
