"In 1994 / 95 I was a full-time student and later a part time library worker.
Recording this stuff was way more fun.
I had a cheap audio technica mic.and three tracks left on my Fostex X15. My drums sat in the corner of the lounge in front of the stereo. The Fostex was on a stool beside me, the mic out front. I taped the drums then wrote songs over the top.
My amp lived in town at the practice room, so these were done with an acoustic guitar and a semi- acoustic bass in front of the mic. There’s some casiotone, tv and drum machines. At some point I got a digital delay and moved up to four tracks. I got more gain recording through my Hot Cake, so that’s a big part of the way things sound.
I had no memory of this tape until Independent Woman Records asked if they could release it.
It’s bombastic and noisy, rough and loose with a tape saturated sound.
I hope you enjoy it." - Blair Parkes
