Great, somewhat outsider, minimal record from Baltimore (1986).
Recorded using only one analog keyboard and some delay.
Less than 200 original vinyl copies still exist.

 

I am a fan who accidentally found Gary and helped him transfer a sealed copy of the LP to CD. It is an unknown gem.

Unknown to me at least - could we get some mp3 samples or anything?

I might be able to upload something tonight, or perhaps talk Gary into making a myspace page.

OK, I finally made an MP3 and uploaded it.
This is my fave song from the album.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes…

Great stuff! Thanks for the tip, I’ve ordered my copy of that CD.

Imagine my surprise when I got a check in the mail from Kunaki. I was even more surprised to find the buyer was from Oslo, Norway. I was even more shocked to find three more copies have sold so far this month. Thanks, Zonkout, for making me famous.  LOL

I have a new disc out, quite different from Original Soundtrack. Titled Worlds of Wonder, this disc is sort of 60’s, hippie, garage, jam band type music. I used a drum machine, and played rhythm and lead guitars, played bass on the keyboard, and put in a couple of keyboard parts. One song, Heavenly Eyes, is all keyboard. The disc contains eleven original songs along with alternate versions of two songs. This disc, Original Soundtrack, and Heart of the Sun can all be purchased at:

Four sample songs can be heard at:

Thanks again to Zonkout for helping me get this album converted to disc, and for bringing it to other people’s attention. I really appreciate your enthusiasm for that recording.

Gary Blanchard
