Timothy Gilbert “Come And See”
Fowl Deed Productions 1987
Wichita, KS USA
I began trading tapes with Timo in around 1986 or so. I can’t recall if he contacted me first or if I read a review of one of his tapes in Option or Sound Choice. We exchanged quite a few letters and tapes and were friends of a sort. I even met him once in England at a party in Camberley which was also attended by Mick Magic, Morgan Bryan, Fred Frantic, my wife Robin O’Brien and members of Robin’s family who lived there at the time. That was a party to remember.
Gilbert always had a bitter and sarcastic side which reared its head and was easily seen in his music. He could also be very tender and revealing. He continued to send me tapes into the 2000’s but after awhile he faded and I rarely heard from him. I found out later he went into acting even appearing on British TV from time to time. Timo was quite a character and a tremendous guitarist, singer and songwriter. I have dozens of his tapes but this one from 1987 is still one of my personal favorites.
This 1987 tape from expat American ( has lived in The UK for decades now), was always one of my favorites from this sarcastic and highly talented singer and guitarist. In addition to songs “Timo” included some freak out elements of a highly psychedelic nature making this a swirling, hallucinatory adventure. Recorded while he was still in Wichita, he later moved to England and continued producing home recorded music for some years and then sort of stopped and went into acting.
