This is the new Gil Mantera's Party Dream (GMPD) record!!!!!! With a real
drummer (Tony Paterra of Zombi)!!!! This shit is the bomb. Go see them live. It
is fucking magical.
Once a duo defined by analog synths and Andrew "Dice" Clay impressions,
Youngstown's Gil Mantera's Party Dream has reinvented itself as GMPD, in a
telling nod to the '80s synth band known as OMD. The addition of live drummer
Anthony Paterra of Pittsburgh-based prog soundscapists Zombi completes the
transition to credible music trio (Paterra also produced Dreamscape). The title
track could be a 1984 New Order B-side, a humming, seven-minute, dance-floor
barnburner - filled with resonant guitar lines, galloping synths, driving
keyboard riffs and the kind of air-raid sirens you'd hear at a rave, or on an
early Public Enemy album. Endless jams like "Supra Natura" and "Eyes of Blue"
somehow drone and rock. And a slightly softer version of "Ballerina" invites the
revival of the term "new romantic."
Note from the band:
Also, you might have noticed that we abbreviated the band's name. We'd like to
think of this as the start of a new phase. With the addition of our man A.E.
Paterra on drums, a new album, new cool guitars, and a big tour, it seemed more
fitting for the direction we're heading. If you don't like it, tuff cookies!
We were very very close to changing the name to Rustic Vengeance, so consider
yourselves lucky!
