The Robot Pirate Dinosaurs demo

Robots! Pirates! Dinosaurs! All your favourite things rolled into one (ok, He-Man is missing, and so are Thundercats, but that would just be too good to be true. And ‘The Robot Pirate Dinosaur He-Man Thundercats’ would be too much of a mouthful for even the most dedicated follower of all things nice)!

This demo sounds like La Boum (for our younger viewers, that is French teen party cult classic movie from 1980) was set in the 60s and a band was playing. This could either be down to heavy use of spring reverb or just recording through a sock. In a tin can.

But! Doesn’t matter! Stuff that sounds like a well-loved midnineties mixtape is nice. There should be more of it.

On the Road sounds like a jolly, near-Strokes-esque tribute to an old Ferguson automatic recordplayer. Very endearing indeed.

Pirates appears to actually be about pirates. And stuff. And a rather persistent bassline.

Kathmandu appears as an acoustic version. Wonder why this makes me think of Hefner?

Im In Luv With U sound, err, I hate to say this, a verly early Beatles recording (think Beatles, Hamburg and demos). But don’t worry, not everything the Beatles did was overrated, dull and vegetarian, so this is not a bad thing. I repeat, not a bad thing.

This is an excellent demo. Mainly because it appears to go against everything that’s in the charts at the moment, like time stopped somewhere. Or they’re in Back To the Future, the Future being 3002 and the Back being 1963.
