american pop project. ampop 1 / 6 tracks / dec 1997

Record 1 on red, record 2 on green vinyl. 1000 made, numbered on the back sleeve.

Six of the raw demos Dave recorded for the Parasites; these recordings were the starting point for classics such as “When I'm here with you”. As expected, the sound is quite rough here which might appeal to the people who like their pop delivered with some distortion. Apart from that I don’t see much here which hasn’t been released before (except maybe „Breakage“ but it’s kind of hard to keep track considering the speed at which they pump out their (first class) releases). Essential stuff for fans, newcomers might want to check out the albums first. [7]  

Dave Parasite, Herz und Hirn der Pop-Götter Parasites, öffnet hier sein Nähkästchen und läßt sechs der Roh-Demos hören, die er in seinem Keller aufgenommen hat und nach denen dann die bekannten Hits entstanden sind. Der Sound ist erwartungsgemäß um einiges krachiger als bei den „fertigen“ Versionen, ansonsten sind die Songs weitgehend bekannt. Schöne Sache für Fans und Leute, denen die Band bisher zu glatt klang.
