Gamma 2
Gamma 2 is Gamma's second album, released in 1980. On this album Ronnie Montrose keeps his streak of not having the same personnel on two albums in a row, changing the line-up once again. Davey Pattison (vocals), Montrose (guitar), and Jim Alcivar (synthesizer) remain from Gamma 1. Glenn Letsch replaces Alan Fitzgerald on bass and old Montrose bandmate Denny Carmassi replaces Skip Gillette on drums.

gollark: In terms of patching it into the cube area, perhaps you could walk around a bit after you get some lighting, and find a door or something.
gollark: Also, did you fix the bit which was in the first person?
gollark: Yes, I suppose that the other cube interactions are mostly related to the cube in some way.
gollark: Well, maybe after "caress the cube" you could get "translate the cube", and if you do that it then beeps ominously and you are teleported to the osmarks.net server room.
gollark: Oh, I see.
