Clockwork, March 13th 2003.

Clockwork (Gouda/Reeuwijk), live on air.
Recorded: March 14th 2003. Studio 2 & editor room.
Tracks: Knives & Lovers/Everybody Has A Suitcase/Moxy/Ready/Something For Someone/Las Vegas.

Note: one of very few livesets the band ever played. Consisted of members from the former Gouda grunge-scene’s bands ‘Lame Art’, ‘Angel of the Underground’ and ‘Annual Women Conference’. The drummer forgot about the show and was told to get his ass in the studio asap. Which he did, taking a djembé along. The set was nice, though slightly loose. Soon after, the band dissolved due to various holidays.

Angel of the Underground - Unreleased Demo (1998).

Recorded: January 26th 1998, ‘Popcollectief’ Gouda.
Unreleased.
Tracks: A Whole Lot More/Phonecall Song (A.k.a. Stormy Weather)/Happy Housewife Heroine/Riot Grrrl/Riot Amps

Note: quite relaxed session, which started by cleaning the separating window between the studio and the control room. Which took a while! ‘Stormy Weather’ was called ‘Phonecall Song’ at that time, as I managed to fuck up the vocal sound of that song during test-sessions taped October 10th 1997. During that same session ‘Riot Amps’ came to light during a jam. It was used as a showstopper for a short while. Right after this session singer Ilse was struck by Pfeiffer, giving her enough time to play the recordings and realise, the tracks needed more work. So these recordings were vaulted. Out-takes do exist, but info is currently not available.

Angel of the Underground - Pre-Production Demo (1998)

Recorded: October 13th 1998, ‘Plug Unit’ Reeuwijk.
Not released.
Tracks: Miss Understood/Sister, Sister/Happy Housewife Heroine/The 2Of U/The Muse.

Note: recorded to serve as pre-production demos for their proper demosession at ‘Excess Studios’ in Rotterdam on November 14th/15th 1998. Recorded live on cassette, using a Marantz recorder and two mikes. A copy was send to ‘Spijkers Met Koppen’ on 3FM, in an attempt to surprise the bassplayer on her birthday. This never happened.

Angel of the Underground – Angel of the Underground' (Demo, 1998)

Recorded November 14th & 15th 1998, ‘Excess Studios’ Rotterdam, by Dennis Leidelmeijer.
Released; December 23rd 1998.
Copies: 250 tapes.
Tracks: The 2 Of U/The Muse/Miss Understood/A Whole Lot More/Sister, Sister.

Note: recorded and mixed in two days by Dennis Leidelmeijer, Hans Pieters, the band and myself. First experiences in a professional 24 track studio. ‘Sister, Sister’ basic track was recorded, but as it needed more work than the rest of the tracks, was left unused. Afterwards the multitrack got re-used, wiping the track without being mixed.

Session-info: The 2 Of U/The Muse/Miss Understood/A Whole Lot More/Sister, Sister.
