Ganger - Smorgasbord

ORIGINATION Fore
LAST LISTENED TO part of it last night
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT fairly good
RATING

Ganger where some buch of people from Glasgow in the mid '90s. I think there was a good chance that they had either two bass players ot two drummers or possibly both. I'd go for just the bass players personally.

Their music was instrumental and a touch avant garde. Some of it was long and some of it was a bit drony in parts (a good thing, i assure you). In some ways they had similarities to Mogwai, although whether there was any actual connection there i couldn't say.

This track is from their debut album of '96. It's medium lenght track, containing many parts. The twin basses are prominant, as are some funky little runs from the sax. It doesn't really go anywhere as such, however it fits into the album as a whole well, with some of the sax parts being quite memorable after running through seventy-odd minutes.
