This was also recorded in 1996. Volumen-2 asked me to lay down a crazy feedback track. I did so, not knowing that he had ideas for the rest of the song. Then I proceeded to get so jazzed on the feedback track that I did another one. So, that left him with 2 track to make his actual song. I know, I know... I'm a dick.

LISTEN

Generally I'm talking out my ass when I tell you when these songs were recorded. BUT, this tape actually says 1996 right on it. Boosh! This was recorded in the first week or so of Volumen-1 and Volumen-2's new life together in Missoula. Ahhh... cute.

P.S. I love calling a song a "demo" when the "real" version was recorded on a just slightly better rig and released to virtually the same amount of people.

LISTEN

I have no idea what this song was supposed to be called. We're gonna have to ask Volumen-2. Alls I know is that it is freakin' bumpin!

Put this baby on in your tiny car with giant wheels and ridiculous sound system and then pull up next to me at a red light and piss my shit off. Please.

Written in the old Hickey House in Laramie (after an apparently bad week, I'm guessing). This little beauty went on to be performed by Volumen around 96-97 with Volumen-1, Volumen-2, Sammy James (Volumen 0) and FrankenBrian (Volumen X). I don't think it got much play with any later line-ups.

Now with extra swears!!!

LISTEN

This was written in the old Volumen house on Dearborn. Once again, Volumen-1 attempts to woo a fancy lady with a song and makes all sorts of promises that he can't keep. Heh.

"My body lights up like ASCII text, still I proceed to sing what's next"

NERD!

I wrote this one for my baby and I'm pretty sure there is an accoustic 4-track demo some where. This was the only song on the record that was recorded live with just room mics. I wanted it to sound like a bunch of drunk guys in a quiet room at a party. I know.. it's a real stretch. For the record, I freaking love the rhythm section's intro on this one. Also, I'm not sure that Penumbric is even a word... but they use it in Magic the Gathering, the card game, so it's close enough.

LISTEN

Because what else does a 9 minute instrumental song need except for a reprise, right? Heh. Volumen-2 orchestrated this one with the boys. It features such sounds as a swinging microphone (to generate cyclical feedback) and wine glasses played with a wet finger. I've noticed that every time we do a reprise, VolumenBkawck is involved. I think he's a bad(good) influence on Volumen-2.
