Thanks for the link scout. I find it strange that matt gray is not getting as much coverage as rob hubbard or martin galway have received the past few years (mainly around the back in time events). they dug out just about everyone but i never heard anything about matt gray.

I am not sure that the Matt Gray you have found, Roland, necessarily is the same as the good old c64-musician... |

Not sure about the Discogs entry, but this is not the Matt Gray we're looking for.
But it might be yet another person. |

Chris Abbott of C64audio.com fame has contacted Matt Gray a few years ago. If I remember correctly, Matt was very bitter about old computer music due to getting ripped off by various game companies, a theme very common with many C64 musicians. Despite HVSC and others having no association with gaming companies, Gray has unfortunately grouped many C64 endevours with his negative memories and has been very reluctant to be as helpful as Hubbard, Galway, Daglish, etc. Over time, Chris may have convinced him otherwise, and I think at one time he was going to attend a BIT event.
Your best way to get in touch with Gray is to work through Abbott.

I tried that, Chris told me about the same. Its really sad what happened with matt. I remember back in the old days some people would nag about his tunes all sounding very much alike (he had his style). But one cant deny he made some of the most memorable c64 tunes along with the likes of rob hubbard and martin galway.
I truly hope someday he can be conviced to open up to the remaining c64 enthusiasts, as rob, martin and all the others have allready done.

Actually, the Matt Gray mentioned together with "Xenomania" is the matt gray we all know from the c64. He seems to have made quite a career.
