about

recorded in los angeles & connecticut, mostly to cassette
all sounds made or stolen by mgg
all music written or improvised by mgg except 'down in the park' by gary numan/tubeway army
most songs previously released on cd-rs by Phantom Limb Recordings & Night Goat

presented warts and all (and let's be clear, it's mostly warts), a collection of songs released under the alias Fantastic Ego, a name i took from a horse in a santa anita racing form & used for my first released forays into solo music creation, across a handful of cd-rs (remember those?)

probably only for completionists and the most dedicated of gedheads, this collection predates all of the music released under my own name & serves as a curated look at what I was making before i dug my moog out of the closet and started playing with loops & wires.

probably the most striking difference awaiting the listener is music made with guitars and voice and other instruments with skin and resonating bodies pushing air. let the buyer beware.

an obvious debt is owed to many great musicians who i shamelessly tried to imitate, but, blessed with my limited abilities & limitless ambition, i think these songs mostly end up sounding like something I would make, just in a way I'd probably never make it now. my biggest regret is probably the accent on the Gary Numan cover, if i could turn back time...

special thanks to grant, justin & tim from the echo curio, where i found my first real home as a musician & was able to hear well enough that my own voice emerged, double thanks to grant for releasing a lot of this stuff in the first place, and to cyrus & jeremy / night goat.
