+ | "In 1991, when Joe Albanese and Willie Dizon formed [[Four Living Creatures]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Four Living Creatures]] experienced the typical mixed reactions to their shows and the typical lack of enthusiasm from record labels to music that dealt with the scarier moment of Christian life. But the band persevered, recorded their first full-length release, borrowed a Picasso for the cover (from his blue period, natch), and drew the interest of Brad Wells, who had an indie venture at the time called [[Frozen Rope Records]]. Wells contacted [[Gray Dot Records]] for distribution of the [[Four Living Creatures]] record as well as one by [[Harry Gore and the Measles]], and Gray Dot began to market the release, as unique to its genre as was //Shaded Pain// to its in the eighties. | ||

(It's never been confirmed that he actually did dub anything for other labels.) | ||
