Superbus Demos by Wild Carnation
These are previously unreleased demos of most of the SUPERBUS album. The demos were made in 1999 on a Tascam 388 1/4" reel to reel 8 track recorder.
These songs were recorded before Anne Hopkins (keyboards) joined. They are more raw than the released SUPERBUS album.
We hope you enjoy the quaint tuning of the Melodica as a placeholder on THE ROAD TO BIELEFELD track. Melodicas are not easily tuneable!
BLUE SKIES (NOT the Irving Berlin song) was too late for the production of our first album TRICYCLE, and it was slated to be on SUPERBUS but then postponed for another time. This SUPERBUS DEMOS release includes the song.
