Old Mannerisms from Holding Pattern by The Gist

A later version of this haunting instrumental was recorded for Stuart's as-yet unreleased magnum opus, "Plan A (For America)."  An interesting bridge between the instrumentalism of “Colossal Youth” and The Gist’s released work.

Lost in a swirl of ideas after the break-up of Young Marble Giants, Stuart began working with anyone at hand who seemed to have a spark and started writing and recording, then writing and recording more. And more.

Although only three 7"s and one album from this fertile period were released, several albums of material were recorded, and our pledge is to compile and release the best of it.
