About the Album:
just 6 months into existence of the benjamin gate we squashed ourselves and our equiment into 2 cars and traveled 8 hours down to paris studios in fish hoek, cape town to record our first demo. we slept on the floor of a coffee shop and spent 5 days in december 1998 in the studio and recorded and mixed 8 songs... this demo later emerged as the band's first independent release. the spinning head ep in 1999.
literally 7 months later we had saved up enough money for round 2, and in july of 1999 we did exactly the same thing. this time on the floor of an empty house and spent 9 days in the studio, recorded and mixed another 8 songs, which emerged as computyourheadupinmyheart. not long after computyourheadupinmyheart had attracted the attention of a record company executive, we went back into the studio to demo additonal songs... many of the songs from computyourheadupinmyheart and the subsequent demo sessions ended up on our first world-wide commerical release... the songs on this cd are the ones that did not.
here they are, in their absolute original form, just for you. enjoy... More Info:
