Episode Synopsis

Before there was a scene, before the Melody Maker had a name for it all - before the Melody Maker went bust, too. ..Before the mid 90s record label frenzy, there were these tracks.

Jesus effing christ Gage's bass. She's tighter than G's drum machine here.
I always knew half the groove on my sometimes decent drumming derived directly from her bass playing, but the way Gage was always TIGHT and simultaneously MASTERFULLY playful against a simple -famously sterile, the Boss dr550- drum machine... nothing short of epic.
Must be said that whenever I recorded Gage onto DAW, I never really had to grid / quantize her playing, which basically is unheard of. Plus Gage's slides were always pure sound design. No wonder Elastica asked her in. Twice. Two years apart.
