Another cool EP release from Demondoll well worth checking out. It's a 7 track EP with 6 songs and an interview with the band on the end. Not as good as Slam Alley or Debbie Ray, but pretty cool for fans of obscure early 90's glam. This one had me hook on image alone. Looking forward to more spins.

I would like to order a couple of cd's from demondoll but my computer keeps messin' up when I go to the web site. Does anyone else have this problem. Ive tried another computer and the same thing happens. Honestly for $8.99 for most cds their probably just good cdrs.

Nah can't find it...thought I saw either a seller or store called Demondoll or something and remember wondering if they sold on E-Bay as well. Sorry can't help you there.

Hmm, I didn't care for this one. Sounded like a bad version of Pretty Boy Floyd to me. I'm gonna have to stick with Debbie Ray and Slam Alley for now.

They are generally good CDRs... but the higher priced ones are silver-pressed. Either way, they're all good quality.

 

Yeah Chris, wasn't sure you'd be into this one at all. I prefer the other two easily also.

Cool band. Always liked TALKS CHEAP with Lesli.

 

Which Demondoll CDs are Silver-Pressed?... Are you sure you don't mean 'Diamond Silver Bottom' CD-R? Was going to order SWINGIN' THING 'The Black List' awhile back but found out it has the barcode of CD POSTER SHOP which does not Replicate (Silver-Press) CDs. They only Duplicate using Silver Bottom CD-Rs according to their site.

 

So needless to say, I didn't order.

Mate, all I know is that my c*nt of a car stereo does not play CDRs anymore (hence why I've had barely any time to listen to the CDs I bought from Demondoll - in fact, still not heard High Wire and Sexcess in their entirety yet) but the Alleycat Scratch and Swingin' Thing CDs played on that c*nt of a stereo just fine.

 

If they're not silver pressed they're as close as you could humanly get, and they fooled my c*nt of a CD player.

Exactly. My stereos will not play CD-Rs. :gun3:

Yeah, it's definitely a concern. It never used to be a problem for me but now all I know is that I have 3 stereos - 1 in the car and 2 at home - and I cannot play CDRs on two of them. The car stereo and the otherwise excellent Sony stereo upstairs do not play them. Only a crappy little TDK one I have downstairs plays them. It's definitely not cool.

Well I'll be, this finally got out, FYI this disc is made from the cassette tapes that I gave to Jim Paulson, after burning them of course, who loaned them to Les for this release. On the tapes there were a number of versions of these songs and some really pathetic live stuff.

 

And yes for you 7 ways of Kevin Bacon kind of collectors, Paulson and Saunders from Tramp Alley are in this band and of course Paulson (he is pictured upper right) was in New American Shame to name a few. :)

 

Culture Shock is probably the best cut, something about the line "got a pink key open's up a green lock!" that still cracks me up.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
