Holding Pattern from Holding Pattern by The Gist

An edit from “Immaculate Mistake.”

The Gist's image is based on the loose experimental nature of "Embrace The Herd," which offered only a fraction of Stuart's musical activities at that time.  Stuart wrote dozens of conventionally-scripted songs as well as material far weirder than anything released.  But we love this odd piece, edited from "Immaculate Mistake," and present it as a brief sample of the more esoteric (harder to compile!) work Stuart was doing then, which we will make available through downloads and the odd surprise in months to come.

Lost in a swirl of ideas after the break-up of Young Marble Giants, Stuart began working with anyone at hand who seemed to have a spark and started writing and recording, then writing and recording more. And more.

Although only three 7"s and one album from this fertile period were released, several albums of material were recorded, and our pledge is to compile and release the best of it.
