go March

The Belgian Cosmic-rocker Go March Present the sequel to their self-titled debut album from 2015, which brought you critiques such as "Mogwai Meets Kraftwerk". The new work is full of psychedelic, electronic synth-rock sounds, pulsating, polyrhythmic and epic, breathing the spirit of proto-techno-artists like Manuel Göttsching or Giorgio Moroder. Go March Toured With Holy Funk, Trans Am And Millionaire And Remixed By Psychemagic, Shigeto And Peaking Lights.

Standing at only 4' 9", 13-year-old child prodigy Margaret Annemarie Battavio was nicknamed Little Peggy March by her record company. Within two years she'd topped the Billboard 100 in April 1963 with the single I Will Follow Him and in the process became, at the age of 15, the youngest ever artist to do so. It's a record which still stands to this day. Although I Will Follow remains her biggest selling single, March enjoyed further chart success in the States with three more top 30 hits one of which, Goodbye Love also made it into the UK Singles Chart.

With our release of well-received titles by Blood, Sweat & Tears and Tower of Power, we at Real Gone have become something of a home for the great horn bands of the late '60s and early 70s, and with our reissue of The Ides of March's classic Vehicle album on the 50th anniversary of the band s founding, we are bringing another one into the fold. The Ides began in a basement in the Chicago suburb of Berwyn on October 16th, 1964, and have stayed together ever since; only the Rolling Stones really rival them for longevity. And this album, Vehicle, was their commercial high-water mark; its title track went to #2 and the album to #55 on the 1970 charts. It's a happy collision (no pun intended) of the band s garage-y British pop influences and the more progressive sounds of Chicago and BS&T that were sweeping through FM radio at the time; our Expanded Edition features four single bonus tracks and notes by Richie Unterberger featuring quotes from the band's Jim Peterik and Larry Millas. Highly recommended!
