Biography

There are multiple artists using the name “Gamma”.

1) Gamma is a band formed by guitarist Ronnie Montrose back in the 70s, after his band Montrose released several LPs, including the classic Montrose/Montrose(Bad Motor Scooter, Rock The Nation). From Northern California, Gamma received relatively little airplay even though their music was very high-quality with stellar musicianship and songwriting.
2) Gamma is a UK Hip-Hop crew on the label Big Dada.
3) Gamma is a Chiptune musician. He/She/It/They have a 9 track album entitled “live” free to download on Kittenrock.co.uk

4) Gamma is one of the early hard/progressive trance aliases used by Massimo Vivona (also known as David Valis and Kinetico), in collaboration with the diverse electronica stalwart Dr. Atmo. While widely considered to be one of the least engaging, most straightforward releases on Fax +49-69/450464 - consisting largely of long-winded, slow-burning trance tunes - there are some more tranquil parts which are on par with much of the label’s inchoate ambient techno material.

    Ronnie Montrose was a very talented guitarist. It is unfortunate that he was gone.

    Massimo Vivona's progressive trance project... (it AIN'T fucking hardstyle - whoever wrote that is obviously a novice in electronic music genres... referring to it as "hardstyle" is a total anachronism - that style of dark trance/hardcore techno only began to emerge in the 2000's)... quite engaging stuff, though Vivona seems to have an inclination towards dragging the shit outta things... ergo I get rather bored of the tunes about halfway through; they don't change too much within their 10+ minute durations. Nevertheless it remains one of the superlative early Fax +49-69/450464 trance releases.

    Definitely an underrated rock band. Mean Streak just rocks and Solar Heat/Ready For Action is my favorite part of the first album.

    Just heard Mean Streak for the first time, the sheer energy of the song alone is amazing
