Initially I had no idea what to do with these songs that I'd written and recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  Twenty years on they sounded extremely dated! I couldn't just "chuck 'em out" because I thought the songs themselves had strong potential.

Very long story short, I'd been hearing in my head this sound of moulding 90s-styled dance grooves with big '80s over-the-top guitar playing. Getting the balance between the two with the limited recording equipment I had in 2014 seemed near impossible...  I finally did it. Enjoy the results

Sonic Adrenalisation is completely different than my other THEGATCAT EPs. 3.5 out of the 5 songs were actually written between 2021 and 2022. "Love is true" is the only old song on the ep  (written around 1995.)  I was a lot more patient with the mixing process this time around. I spent more time sonically moulding the tracks so they were clearer and more prominent in the mix. I especially spent more attention on the vocals and guitars.
