5.0 out of 5 stars I love Gamma!, August 29, 1998

Gamma never reached the same commercial success that Ronnie Montrose's other band, Montrose, did. Still, I love this band!

Maybe it's because they were never considered a progressive rock band or a hard rock band. Actually, I really liked their version or hard-edged rock and roll with heavy guitars but a strong dose of synthesizers.

Besides, Davey Pattison, the vocalist for Gamma, was a great, great, hard rock vocalist. He has since moved onto blues, but he and Ronnie Montrose have left a legacy of unique, sophisticated progressive rock in the form of Gamma.

I just wish that all three Gamma records were available on CD!

Gamma fans: there is an english import called 'Gamma-Concert Classics'. This disc has live versions of many of the cuts off Gamma1!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Listening, October 25, 2000

This review is from: The Best of Gamma (Audio CD)

I've enjoyed Ronnie since his days with Edgar Winter. He was part of that group when they did "Frankenstein." His work with Gamma started off great and only got better with time. I was saddened to see Gamma break up, but the only thing predictable about Ronnie Montrose is that he is unpredictable. His post-Gamma instrumental projects were all interesting enough to make me listen time and time again. The only tracks I wish had been included on this CD that didn't make the cut are Mayday and Moving Violation. But otherwise, this is a great representation of what Gamma did. Now, stop reading and buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Gamma, November 18, 2001

If you're looking for something real:

Ronnie Montrose is one of those eclectic artist that was always ahead of his time, and with such commitment to music that only those are aware that music must feel your mind, your soul, your life, will be shure that listening Ronnie Montrose music can enrich their lives.

Not many artist were able to feature such a powerful sound,
this is a collection that you will sure like if Hard 6 Progressive sounds, this is a record to listen over and over again.

For those this record is a most.
