Who made those Fundamental "demos"?

#1 Post by leesmapman »

There were 5 instrumental tracks available on the networks, filed under Fundamental Demo (or something like that). Obviously they weren't real, but some sounded really nice. Any idea who made those?

it wasn't personally for him. It was for all other/future posters who ask. :)

If only I could, I let explode all those demo files, which still labeled as PSB!

not to be uptight but it bothered me some people actually were fooled once they actually heard the tracks.

PSB songs are generally set up into very strong seperate sounding verse chorus verse musical segments.
most of these demo's sounded like just one piece of music.

I also hate the trickery used to get people to listen to their second rate material, and all the useless download time it wasted and now someone is saying they liked the stuff hence its just going to keep these types to do it more often.

I can give credit where credit is due, however I thought they were very generic sounding.

Only the really really dim segment of the fanbase were fooled, though.
