Gamalon - Aerial View from Aerial View

My favorite jazz fusion group! Some would consider this more of a progressive rock/metal album. This instrumental masterpiece I was turned onto back in the early 90s by a very good friend of mine. Its been in my CD case ever since then. Like an old friend I get hooked on this CD over and over again. I know its been out of print for a while now and I am hoping that its re-release via MP3 version or even CD again someday.

This is the title track off of the CD, called "Aerial View". I've always wanted to do an animation video with this track, of an alien strolling through the air trying to figure our world out, not paying attention and then getting seen by a jet airliner, the airliner reports him to air traffic control, a couple of Air Force jets are sent to investigate and he has no idea he's being followed, until its too late, because he is still taking in the beauty of what he sees with the buildings and sky scrapers. Then all of a sudden, he notices and they chase him (when the drum solo starts) and the music kicks back in, he revs his jump engines and starts to pull away from the jets and launches into space and hyper speed at the end, flying away. The last scene, is the alien whisking the sweat from his brow goin...whoa.

Gamalon still does shows, from what I'm seeing. I am putting these tracks out on YouTube to turn people on to this excellent group. I'm hoping that people find them, fall in love with them and go find the CD.

I've always liked their first and third albums too, but this one, to me, is their masterpiece. Every song on it is perfectly written and executed. If any of the band stumbles upon my post here, please know that I am a HUGE fan and always have been. I wish I could see them live sometime. :) There are some videos out here of the reunion concert, which is really cool and some with Nori Bucci, that are amazingly good...would love to see more footage of those shows. But I wanted to share these little master pieces that are missing from YouTube. :)

So, I've also remastered this track a bit. Widened it and added a little spacial feel to it as well. It was mastered with a high amount of treble in the mix, so I brought that into balance as well.

Monster album. Uberunderrated. I cranked this in the late 90's driving PCH in Cali.

I've always been amazed that Ted Reinhart didn't end up with a band much better known to jazz fans. I still remember listening to him with the bands he started back in the 70's. He was always the best musician in any group.

I have been a total Gamalon fan ever since I heard this Aerial View album in the very early 90s. I always wished these guys would come to California and play in my area. This song is one of my all-time favorite progressive rock/fusion (or however you want to classify it) songs. :)

The correct spelling (I guess) is Gamelan, from wikipedia: "The term refers more to the set of instruments than to the players of those instruments. A gamelan is a set of instruments as a distinct entity, built and tuned to stay together – instruments from different gamelan are generally not interchangeable." I'm pretty sure its where they got the name from.

Gamalon is not together right now, as far as I know. However, founding member, Ted Reinhardt has his own channel on youtube that you can subscribe to. He is currently performing with members of his own family as "The Reinhardts".

Does anyone know what's the meaning of the word "Gamalon" anyway?
