What are the Atco Demos?
These were 3 songs that were recorded as a demo deal struck with the then Atco label (which later merged with EastWest, and finally Elektra). The basic tracks were recorded by producer David Prater in a single session at Beartracks Studios in Suffern, NY in May of 1991. Guitars, keyboards and overdubs were recorded at Prater’s 16-track basement home studio in New Jersey. The demos were then submitted to Atco, and on the strength of these 3 tracks, a recording deal was immediately struck. The tracklisting is: Metropolis pt.
