Gate - The Monolake

 

Michael Morley (of the Dead C.) follows up his sublime "The Dew Line" with this marginally more accessible album released by Table of the Elements in 1996. It includes a cover of Faust's "Jennifer" which you can play at parties to get some asses on the dance floor.

Gate - The Dew Line

 

Michael Morley's "The Dew Line" from 1994 is, in my opinion, the best music he's made outside of The Dead C. A huge gray downer of an album, sounding so broken and hopeless that it hardly has the energy to stand upright or keep its eyes open. Released as a CD by Table of the Elements.

For these live performances from Boston and New York City, he was joined by Lee Ranaldo (of Text of Light) and harpist Zeena Parkins. Released by Poon Village in 1994 as a CD in a very cool silk screened sleeve.
