For a short period in 1981 and with brand-new equipment such as Roland
808, SH 101, GR 500, we made some 8-track “just for fun” jam tapes. Mainly
just to experiment for our own pleasure. From those sessions, only “White
Horse” made it to a final treatment. The rest of the material was left
behind, as our record company at the time found it too “different”.
After “White Horse” being a track indeed defining our sound, we thought it
would be interesting to dig out left-overs to fulfill a documentation of
that period - crucial for us at the time. We were still innocent
newcomers, without actually knowing to be creating a new sound!
Recently, that left-over material was transferred from analogue to digital
and, to stay as true as possible to original intentions, we only added
vocals, bass and drumbeats ahead of a final mix.
We hope that you will enjoy listening to it.
