Review – A Collection Of Demotracks

Description


Review is the title of a compilation, a sort of “best of” demotapes. It was released on the independent UK label M&E and also in a swedish limited promotion edition.

On this cassette you’ll find excerpts from DSC’s demotapes. We have chosen to include some of the tracks that have not been released on CD among with old versions of songs that later on have appeared re-recorded on CD. One could look at this as a sort of “best of” – early material – tape and that is what it is ment to be.

Pearls For The Swine

Description


Pearls For The Swine is the last demotape from Dark Side Cowboys. Shortly after the release in 1995 the first CD Pure Hearts EP was released. Pearls was only available to members of Morinsis Productions and subscribers of Wanted Magazine, so back then many fans didn’t even know it existed. On this recording the Cowboys prepared themselves for the forthcoming CD’s and many future CD-tracks can be find here in early demoversions.

Shots & Cuts

Description


Shots & Cuts give the listener a summary of what the Cowboys were up to on stage during 1993-94. Included are live-tracks from various performances, from the worst ones that never should have been done in the first place, to some better ones. Found within are exclusive tracks and versions that practically never can be done again… This is the fifth and final part in the Ars Moriensis story, the epilogue that ends with a lot of questions, perhaps never to be answered.

Demon

Description


Demon is the fourth part in the Ars Moriensis epos, and probably the most deadly part too… Designed as a comedy this piece of music will thrill the listener and send shivers down your spines. One can hear a mixture of sanity and insanity, good and bad, light and darkness, and there is no way out. The demotape is somewhat equal to Rare & Obscure and it was only made in 25 copies (guess if they sold out…). On this demo one can find early demoversions among with exclusive tracks and covers. DSC fear no limits.

The Hall Of Pain

Description


The Ars Moriensis was the start of the Dark Side Cowboys’ epos with the same name, devided into five parts, and here we have reached part III – The Hall of Pain. This demo was, like Ars Moriensis, made in 100 numbered copies plus another 100 promocopies. This is the recording that brought DSC outside the borders of their homecountry and musically one can follow the development.

On this album size one can follow the Cowboys in the battle between the good and the bad side… in the Hall of Pain.

Rare & Obscure

Description


Ars Moriensis II – Rare & Obscure is the name of the second demotape from DSC. Limited to 25 numbered copies it sold out quickly and lucky owners af an original can now become rich, erhm… On this tape DSC are even more experimental than on Ars Moriensis and among the many obscure songs one can find special versions of Deep, Bloodred Moon and Red Day, unique tracks like Nerves Don’t Regain and covers of among others David Bowie.

Ars Moriensis

Description


Ars Moriensis, the first release from Dark Side Cowboys, and the first part of the five tales based on the Ars Moriensis story. The cassette MORMC001 were made in 100 numbered copies and it sold out within a few months, yet another issue of 100 copies were made, mainly for promotional use. Future hits like Bloodred Moon and Black Sun can be found here in early demoversions. It’s like those baby-pictures you look at when you’ve grown up and think: “Oh, those were the days…”.
