Caffeined

In the absense of a multi-track recording machine (neither tape nor computer) in 1995 (I think), we decided to do it the old-fashioned and low-tech way: Recording something on an ordinary cassette player, and then add “tracks” by playing the tape through the mixer while playing something new on top; recording the mixers output again, and then repeating the process. Umm, I’m probably describing it in a bad way. Whatever.

The result was three tracks that came out pretty weird. I don’t even have a title for one of them, and the lyrics came from Jan’s odd mind, so don’t come to me with any complaints. We used anything we had at hand, synths, pots and pans, a guitar, whatever was on TV at the moment, and a typewriter.

Psycho was later remixed and rerecorded by Jan (and that remix was remixed by me) in 1997, but we’re not going to listen to that now.
