In celebration of his 30th year as a songwriter, Gavin has unlocked the doors to his musical archive and will be featuring previously unreleased recordings made during the late 1980s and early 1990s on his website, http://gavingoszka.com. This formative period saw Gavin exploring some of the genres that influenced him the most at that time – New Age, pop, and traditional Irish music – as well as experimenting with creating the kinds of sonic landscapes that would later become a defining characteristic of his work with Midnight Syndicate. Although the songs were originally recorded on cassette tape using a mix of professional and consumer-grade equipment, the recordings have been carefully restored and remastered in a way that preserves their original character with as little alteration as possible, offering a virtual trip back in time to revisit Gavin’s earliest songwriting adventures.

Oh my head, how is Carnival Arcane already 11 years old? Ha. One of those traveling fairs with rides used to show up in the plaza down the street from me. I could smell the food and hear people screaming and I'd put that album on to go with it.
This points out the different feel of color vs black and white
Looking good as always guys!
