FIRST THREE GRAMSCI ALBUMS AVAILABLE ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME

October 26, 2023

'Permanence' 2023 Remaster was originally released in 2000. For this release, original Gramsci member Dave Holmes has remastered the album which garnered glowing reviews on its initial release. It features the singles 'Easy' 'Complicated' and 'Give Me Strength'

"If McLaney was anywhere but New Zealand, he'd be getting the kind of serious attention that's reserved for the Buckleys and Morrisons of this world. He really is that good" The Sunday News

"A beautifully poised piece of work" The Listener

"McLaney's got a voice and the songs to use it on" The Sunday Star Times

"a major threat" NZ Herald

"a remarkable voice" RIP IT UP

'Object' 2023 Redux

Gramsci's sophomore album 'Object' was originally released in 2002 and expanded upon the acoustic/electronic collisions of the debut 'Permanence'.

"An inspired-sounding album" PAVEMENT

"Pop music that works in ways pop music isn't supposed to" METRO

"Deserves your full attention" Real Groove

"Deserves to infiltrate the minds of millions" RIP IT UP

'Like Stray Voltage'  2023 Redux

Gramsci's third album 'Like Stray Voltage' was originally released in 2005 and sees the music move into a more rock based sonic. Featuring the singles 'Fall To Earth' 'Code' 'All The Time In The World' and 'Recovery'. 'Like Stray Voltage' swings between majestic rock ballads and throttle open sonic assaults to create a definite statement of intent, drawing on a myriad of influences and fashioning them into music that is both elegant and brutal.

"A much more grandiose concoction that captures the kind of high drama associated with U2 or The Doors at their mighty best but remains tightly controlled, never lapsing into overweening caricatures that high drama often encourages. Highly recommended" METRO

"Like all great rock'n'roll torn between the heartbreaking beauty of love and the fury of aggression" REAKTOR
