TERMINUS: ACOUSTIC DEMO TAPES
There were also a couple of solo acoustic tapes that appeared by singer Mark Richardson, which very few people had the misfortune to hear. These were:
LORD OF THIS EARTH 1984
TPPL/ Terminal Plague Productions Limited
Catalogue Number: TPPL 002
A solo acoustic Demo Tape, the first two tracks recorded on a porta studio late 1984, all the rest recorded on a TEAC 4 track reel to reel: on 19 August 1984 (Albion), 2 December 1984 (Cemetery Girls, The Only Road, Addicts Of Fear, Usurpers and Pagan Summers) and 19 October 1982 (Feelings Of Madness ad No Time At All).
Recorded from microphone to tape deck with no mixing desk at all, and so suitably rough and raw. About half the songs I write are for acoustic performance, as opposed to the punk rock type stuff. The reason both Terminus studio albums have an acoustic track on was to show we were more than one dimensional.
Line Up: Mark Richardson Vocals and guitars, Dave Bairstow plays extra guitar on Pagan Summers.
Track Listing: I Will Be There/ Morning Fades/ Albion/ Cemetery Girls/ The Only Road/
Addicts Of Fear/ Usurpers/ Pagan Summers/ Feelings Of Madness/ No Time At All.
