The Strange (Knighton Heath Demo) – giveaway
by Mike on Jan.15, 2011, under Free downloads, Music, The Strange
Although I don’t seem to have any early recordings of The Strange, I managed to locate these which were made by the last incarnation of the original line-up (Dave, Richard and myself with Graham White on drums) some time in the late 90′s. The demo was made at Knighton Heath Music Centre in Poole and was engineered by Dave Thomas (of Manitou fame).
This era was probably the last time that The Strange was a going concern as a live band – once Graham quit (for personal reasons unrelated to the band) we migrated to my flat, and although did lots more interesting experimentation, the music would have been harder to perform live relying as it did on drum loops, samples and sequencing as much as on drums, guitar, synth and bass.
Anyway, enough rambling, here are the tracks.

I’m fairly sure I have a copy of “pop song” and that piece which was written in my house at Baiter using the zoom guitar effects unit we borrowed when we had bugger all equipment.
