I finally found this after years of searching. I used to be very interested in Vincent Gallo as a teenager. Anyway, the music is special. Side A, if re-released today, would garner a lot of attention from contemporary noise artists. Side B sounds like proto minimal techno of the basic channel variety, but with organic instruments, tape warbles, etc.

PM me for a link.

Vince Gallo ...
To me , kind of amazing you found bohack,
it was some part of der legend, not heard by many ...

Funny as I been listening to Gray ( their one recorded cut ),
also "It's The Latest News" , a unit with Nicholas Taylor aka DJ High Priest, Phase Two ( "The Roxy" ) and crew and Al Diaz's Elephant Dance live at Tier 3 while selecting tracks for a compilation.
Branches off the same tree that would also include JG Basquiat /Rammellzee & K-Rob's
"Beat Bop" ...

Drilla- yes, that IS Gray, confirmed last night by a member.
There is a current version of Gray ( M Holman, Nick Taylor ) still in operation and this seems to have been a demo that 'got out'.
