Thanks for your kind words lance.
I think you are talking about the 35 minute improvised jam tune, I must admit it kind of worked, playing something totally improvised and listenable was the goal, and I think we managed at times. We are all kind of busy, and Gort is inactive for a bit, but in some configuration or other Gort will play again!
It would be a waste of a good name otherwise,
there aren't enough bands named after an interplanetary robot policeman !
