A Disembraining Songs release, DIS-002

Additional notes, Mar. 2022:

"Disembraining Songs Demo - Feb. '94" was the second cassette released on my Disembraining Songs label. I dubbed 15 copies of the tape to take with me to the UK, Winter 1994, while on a mini-tour with Phycus and Monty Cantsin (a story for another day). The tape was given to or traded with people I met while on tour. No more copies were produced after the initial run of 15. The tape is a "split release" but both projects represented are solo projects of my own. All material on the cassette was written/created by me with one exception - the first two lines of lyrics in "Not A Fire" were extracted from a letter written by my friend Mark Hamilton and sent to me sometime in the mid-80s (and that's another story for another day!).

I should also comment on the S.O.T.N.E. tracks on this album. As it says in the original track listing, they are both "live performance backing tracks," which means they are not finished compositions. They're just some sounds created to accompany whatever sounds/actions were happening live. And, as an interesting aside, the "Baron Brainscapes" backing tracks on this tape were never actually used in the "Baron Brainscapes" performances that took place a few years later.

This digital version has been very minimally re-mastered. It's not radically different from the original cassette release but I think it's quite listenable. Bear in mind that the recordings were made on a four-track cassette recorder in the early 90s.

I hope you enjoy the reissue of this rare piece of 90s cassette culture!
