Pre-production demos of Bath/LYBM (aka free fuct sounding mp3s)

[FalseTodd]

I just dug out some old demos that Toby and I made for Bath/LYBM in the college studio. Kind of interesting to hear on account of the different arrangements. "Beautifull" is mostly the same, but "Stones" and "Birth Pains" have some pretty big changes.

"Beautifull" is particularly embarassing for me. Big fuckups.

To answer the immediate question "Why do the drums sound cleaner than the drums on My Fruit...?": Better microphones.

They Aren't All Beautifull. (AKA worst drumming EVA)

Stones of Octobre's Sobbing

Birth Pains of Astral Projection

Just listened to the Beautifull demo...actually, I think the drums are quite passable. Far from perfect, but overall keep the time very well. Don't know what your complaining about...

I believe the "drum" mics used on My Fruit were AKG vocal mics? most were dented.

Sam can you link the live MP3s on this thread too, since it's IMPORTANT?

they actually sound pretty good! i was surprised by how closely the finished product stuck to the original idea in some places--cool!

AS I SIT AND CHUG BAILEYS AND GUINNESS YES IT IS IMPORTANT TO LINK THE PROWEST MP3S.

(cuz i myself am going through these posts to get them right now...)

those tracks seriously own. I like them just as much as the album versions.

but what's up with the groovy bit at the end of Stones? (it almost feels like r & b)

Sigh, dear Line 6 POD, how lovely is thy tone.

i like posts like these; ones with rare mp3's. keep 'em coming.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

here are the first few MP3s from the 2002 Progwest festival...more to come? I hope so.

A Conception Pathetic

Undine and Underwater Flowers

Birth Pains of Astral Projection

why don't you post here old demos? at least songs that don't have better versions in any of the latest albuns, I mean, really new material.

 

[FalseTodd]

That would be up to Tob-y, I don't have any of that stuff.

the only copies of the first demo are on tape. so some conversion would be necessary. also, the tape quality has probably degraded signifigantly since we made the tapes in 1996.

what i would like to have on mp3 or cd is that song toby and i recorded by ourselves on the four track in 1995 called "Uncovering the Gift". We used it as a "bonus track" to certain copies of Through Languid Veins.

that shit was off da hook

 

[FuSoYa]

i'll post the original "The Ocean, The Kingdom, and the Temptation" and maybe something else too.

K DUDES?

 

[Baliset]

tis dope if you post that. maybe Beauty too? I always thought that was a decent song.

 

[FuSoYa]

!!!!! \m/ wow. I can honestly say I've never been so floored by music before. :zombie:

the solo at about 2:30 to 3:30.

the whole song, it's got this deep and dark mythopoetic vibe about it, exactly what i love so much about my fruit. thanks for posting that.

 

[FuSoYa]

i like this version much, much better than the MFP version.
