THRILLING WOMEN

The Lost Air Pirate Sessions
Toronto 1977-1980

Available at last on iTunes!
Back in the 70s and 80s I was part-owner
of a recording studio in Toronto (it still operates today as Mars Studios.) At that time I was creating album cover and poster designs for many of Canada's most popular bands as well as up-and-coming acts. Often these musicians would guest on my and rock journalist Jeffrey Morgan's sessions as we created our own music. The tapes were lost for a time, but have at last been found, remastered and are now available on iTunes.

"Finally! My name on the FRONT of an album!"
Dean Motter

Dateline: 2002. Publisher/ auteur Ralph Alfonso has expanded the purview of the Bongo Beat enterprise to include some wonderfully esoteric CD's. Among the most notable of these is a tasty number entitled Driving In The Rain: 3 AM - Songs To Get Lost With. It's a collection of previously unreleased tracks by Teenage Head's Dave Rave, Paul Hyde, Kevin Kane, BB Gabor, Tom Wilson, Katrina & The Waves, Kimberley Rew, Jackson Phibes, Ralph and others. One notable cut, 'A Darkened Stretch' from the Thrilling Women CD by Jeffery Morgan and Dean Motter has received some encouraging critical interest.

"…Let's put it this way: my 3:00 AM compilations (many of which I made long before I had even heard of this record, incidentally) involve the likes of Chroma Key, the Cure, Joy Division, Kid Loco, Pink Floyd and Massive Attack. Nowhere in that mish-mash of musical styles, subgenres and decades is there any trace of anything uplifting… RECOMMENDED TRACKS: "Celtic Cross" (BB Gabor), "A Darkened Stretch" (Jeffrey Morgan with Dean Motter.)"
