• Kevin Gilbert

  Not an LP I own.

  A recent mefi entry reminded me of Kevin Gilbert. Way back in the day, my ahead-of-the-curve friend Ian played a tape of Gilbert's 'Kaviar' for me, and while I thought it was cool, it was in the middle of some other complicated stuff so it went in one ear and out the other.

  Well, after, ahem, obtaining 'The Shaming Of The True,' it's clear that I should have paid more attention.

  

  He reminds me of World Entertainment War, mostly because they came out about the same time, Gilbert sounds like Rob Breszny and mostly because he's actually trying to say something.

  Update: Oh shit! Gilbert performed the whole of 'Lamb Lies Down' on stage! Now I'm really, really sad. (He died at 29.)
