mine was a jon brion aping collage of backwards guitar loops through FX and a dramatic reading of genesis by a group of women in the 60s called the speak 4 trio.

its not as bad as it sounds

i did it for school in 2004, ill get it off tape and onto here if i can.

Old Skool Doog, I'm guessing 2000-ish?

3 songs of whiny riffy grunge, all about a minute and a half too long. The ocassional flourish in terms of music and lyrical quality, but generally pretty bad. I EQ'd and compressed it a bit, but I'm out of Turd Polish.

Gearwise, it's probably mainly CIJ Jag (going from the awful hum caused by a bridge ground come adrift that I didn't know about), s/s Laney head, Trace Elliot 4x12.. TunaMelt trem pops up a bit too. Bass is some BR-8 sim, or PS-3 octave effect. All in all, it all sounds horrible.

Every one here sounds way better than my first few attempts of recording, which is here, these feature my self on acoustic guitar and 15 year old sounding singing( these are from 06-07?), and I had a friend also on an acoustic guitar, I think the last song was from a practice when I was ill, don't remember it was mid-december 08.
We have new ones up on our page.
(sorry to whore out both of my pages, these are the only places I have to host our new/old work

)

First recording was through a boom box circa 1992, Me on vox my friend mark on guitar and my friend Josh on drums. We called ourselves Alternate Faith and the song was called Snow, about how we didn't want to go to school the next day. It was epic high school crap.

I'll see if I can find it.

There are some four track recordings somewhere of my first gigging band, in '91, I don't know where though. There were a load of recordings from another couple of bands around '93, but my ex wife recorded over them with Steps.

Fucking Steps, I ask you.

After reading this post I looked out an old tape of some tunes me and the (now) brother in-law Joe made in about 1996 on a free version of cubasis which only had 2 tracks of audio available (lots of track bouncing). We had been listening to â€˜their law â€˜by the â€˜prodigyâ€™ quite a bit. Have a listen to Joeâ€™s rap at 01:32 and my guitar break at 02:51. Oh yeah!

Else than highschool band recordings, The first actual recordings I made was the early Iszoloscope stuff but I guess that doesn't count cause it has no guitars on it. other than that, I recorded a cover version of Beck's "Jackass" with a 50 dollar guitar and a PC mic but that's long gone.
I guess the most recent guitar recording that I've done that still exists is this early idea for a Teen Steam song.
