I first heard The Stark Reality years ago in the Stones Throw 101 mix. When PB Wolf dropped “Dreams” into the mix he blew me away and I immediately went to my local record store to find out more. I ordered the “Now” anthology and soaked up every second of it when it finally arrived about a week later.

Thanks for introducing me to his wonderful music and thanks to Monty Stark for creating it. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Egon.

I first heard his music when you released Now in 2003, and found the music to be just.. brilliant. After reading your article on Stark Reality in waxpoetics i asked Monty if I could do an interview with him by e-mail. He answered just a couple of hours later, with long well-written answers on my badly spelled questions. Even if I never met him i understood that he was a very special man.

A year ago I found an original copy of Stark Reality for just a couple of dollars. The day I found about Monty’s passing I took the LP out and listened to it from beginning to end. It’s a masterpiece that’ll always have a special place in my heart.

I send my thoughts to his relatives. Love from Malmö, Sweden.

Monty made music that sounds like how I feel on the inside. His vision is rare and full of life’s complexity. He will be missed.

Egon/ST thank you guys so much for sharing his music and the memories of him. In looking for all things original in creativity, the Stark Reality is a big brick in that wall. Very Beautiful and Very Moving to say the least.
