PG13 decided to record 4-5 more songs a few months later in early 1985. This time we were referred to a studio by some people in another band called "No Hands Clock". This studio was in the back of a huge warehouse and had great natural ambience, and more importantly, they also had some effects available - reverbs, delays, compressors... and more excitingly for me, they had a Prophet V for me to use too!
The industrial setting was very condusive to our creativity - there was a basketball hoop out back, and the landscape was so bleak, we thought we were on the moon.
These songs wound up being some of our favorites - in contrast to the first 4, these sounded much more like the music we actually liked to LISTEN to.
With 8 songs recorded, we decided it was time to "release a cassette" - we mixed the studio tracks along with one horrible horrible live track (which at least does capture the extremely loose timing and questionable tuning we engaged in).
We actually sold several dozen of these cassettes! We thought we were kings of the world. Talk started to turn to... an actual ALBUM.
