In early 2003 I was working on some tracks for a new album. I backed up what I had onto cheap CDs, which eventually lost the data. So I'll have to start much of what I had from scratch again. Here are two of the demos that always tantalize me with how good they could have been had we been able to fill them out with a few more instruments, then do a good mix:

 

Bad Days

A sort of "apocalyptic visions of a hillbilly grandpa" sort of song. You'll have to imagine a banjo, fiddle, string bass and harmonica (and a prolonged outro).

 

Marco Klaue: guitar, voice, bottle

Dan Steenburgh: egg beater, meat hammer, tin cups, Schlagenfrappe, kitchen sink

 

We Don't Need a Miracle

 

This one could be interpreted in different ways, and I'm hesitant to offer my own personal interpretation.

 

Marco Klaue: voices, piano loop, various flutes

Desmond Wong: more flutes
