I was first introduced to Marc Plainguet through Facebook. I can’t remember how exactly but I’m sure we were getting into some type of political mischief via Brian Healy’s facebook page. Anyway, Marc is a super nice guy and I eventually realized that he had been involved in music some years ago. I wasn’t familiar with Marc’s music until the last couple of years, but it really is a good music and it is definitely a slice of independent music history. Marc has released around 14 or 15 records. Some have been under his name, a couple more as Gadget and he was also in a band prior to his solo output in the mid 80’s. A pioneer in the underground scene, I would describe his World Media release as a keyboard driven plunge into sound bites, sound structures, songs and a completely unique take on the world around him and the music that he creates. Listening to his music is a giant trip, its fun, engrossing, at times challenging, but it is always in a class by itself. This is the kind of music that all the hipster kids wish they could make these days!
