As you can see this is the Pat Gibson archive. I know there's more from
each 'band' available out there but this'll do me nicely.
The Systematics tracks are essential early electro-pop highlighted by
great tracks like '245T' and 'Bovine' - they really were a fantastic
band.
I think some of Pat's solo material was released as an M-Squared cassette
but I'm not certain. I've made up the names of these for the most part as
there wasn't a track list on the cassette I used. 'It Happened On Friday'
and 'Surely We Deserved It' are fantastic, droning, melancholy
pieces.
The YYC EP isn't half as good as they were live, as you can see if you
compare it with the later tracks here although 'Waiting Time' is
excellent (and has the choir's awful contribution omitted entirely - thank
heavens). The last 2 tracks are from the time they supported Souxsie and
the Banshees - Pat's comments are priceless, as they always were.
