New Asia - Gates

The person behind this album of disjointed sound scapes and abstract beats was Ian Little, better known for his production of Duran Duran's 3rd. album "7 & The Ragged Tiger". Ian started his career in music working for 3+ years at Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera's Gallery Studio and it was during this time that Gates was completed. Ian came up with the foundation of each track but then gave the assorted musicians involved freedom to come up with their own parts, which Ian then edited, treated and mixed to create the finished album. Not a commercial success, "Gates" was non the less well received within the media andLynden Barber did a full page article in Melody Maker on July 10th 1982 where he described the album as an "...imaginative combination of loose improvisation, spikily twisting themes, sound collage and drum machines...underpinned by the tension of modern industrialism"
...as reviewed by musiceel for Discogs
Gates is a passel of grating, noisy tracks from a recording project (not a band) led by Ian Little, a Phil Manzanera protégé who became a noted and successful producer. Other participants include Manzanera and former Hitmen Ben Watkins and Pete Glenister.
From Trouser Press
Imho a great LP ,with greater geusts,playing a mixture of experimental/minimal synth music with ethno and jazzy touches.At least, worth listening(though i believe this is a great masterwork that any "mutant" should include in his collection of obscurities)
