5.0 out of 5 stars One of my very favorites, November 2, 2004

Others might like one or both of the previous Gamma albums, but for me, Gamma 3 will always be my favorite.

For years, this cassette lived in my sports car, and made bad trips good, and good trips great. By the time the opening anthem, "What's Gone is Gone" finished, I'd be driving at least 30 mph faster than the limit, and hoarse from singing at the top of my lungs, and in need of new speakers, 'cuz I blew them out.

And the rest of the album is just as good. "Right the First Time" gives me chills just thinking about it. "Stranger" is burned into my brain - at least that guitar/voice part.

The brilliance that briefly showed up in "Space Station #5" ("Montrose") is all here, in spades. You're going to love this album.

I, too, have been waiting for this to come out on CD for decades, and look forward to buying it.

BTW - Ronnie Montrose also put out "Speed of Sound", which is an awesome album.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little more progressive than the first two cd's, January 7, 2003

This is an excellent cd by Gamma, every song on it is good. It is a little more progressive than the first two cd's not quite as hard rockin. Montrose best playing comes on Mobile devotion, condtion yellow( really nice guitar solo in it. My favorites are Moving Violation, Condtion Yellow, No Way out, and Stanger, but all songs are very good to excellent. If you don't mind mind it leaning to the more prgressive side of rock then buy this cd because is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a breath of fresh air to hear after all these years, February 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Gamma 3 (Audio CD)

This cd or it was an album back oh, say 21 years ago still is very good to listen, too. It isn't quite as hard rocking as the first two cd's, but that doesn't mean it isn't as good as they are because it is just as good and maybe better overall even though it doesn't have the hard hitters like Solar heat/Ready for action or Mayday. What it does have is a lot of very good to excellent progresive songs and ronnie does play quite a bit still throughout the cd. My favorites are the third degree, moving violation, condition yellow, and stranger. If you don't have this cd and have the first two don't be afraid to pick it up because you will like better and better through the years.
