Began in the late 70's and quickly signed to Ralph Records where they
released 4 LPs plus the amazing collaboration album with The Residents,
"Title In Limbo". In 1987 the group went into semi-retirement until this
wonderful "comeback" album was released in 2016. A wonderfully strange
medieval sounding electronic album with all the bizarre insectoid vocals
we know and love from their classic Ralph catalog. NOW it's the end of
2019 and Gurdy has it's own vinyl release with an entire 18 minute side
of BRAND NEW EXTRA MATERIAL RECORDED ESPECIALLY FOR THIS VINYL
PRESSING!!!!!

Apparently a Vaporwave take on Dungeon Synth for lovers of old gaming specifically Runescape. I have also just discovered the alleged existence of something called Pumpkin Synth which is Halloween flavored Dungeon Synth. Looks like I'm down another rabbit hole. That face though!
My introduction began during her pop/disco years with her 1977 album. She had a voice that really stood out for me and played guitar. I was very happy when she moved to the Rounder label and played what she wanted to. Some of her best work will be found on Stony Plain Records right out of my hometown. I have some other tributes on the broken hard drive the I hope to revisit some day. This is how my morning starts off. Rory Block

Do the CGs come after the CDs? ;-) I've been meaning to listen to some more HNIA since recently finishing the history of 4AD records book.
