 Post subject: FAQ: What about early Eisley recordings?Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 9:54 am 
Eisley - Confusing Discography as follows: 1.) Ep 1 - They're all on the website - hi-rez, except Pretender. The band doesn't like that one... included "Blackened Crown", "Dream for Me", "Pretender". Has a computer generated (color) cover I designed - real hack, real indie. 1.a) Some time after ep 1, Collin County Jr. College picked Eisley to record some stuff with as a class project. Sadly, none of it was any good...I mean, it was all horrible as far as I can remember. yes. yes. it was. "Becoming You" was barely even considered a demo. Just an idea that the band dropped after playing it live maybe 10 times or so. I tossed it on the site just so that you guys could see how crappy things were in the old days.  Well...the song had some potential, but...it, along with
many others during that era were trial and errored. 2.) Ep 2 - Includes the songs off Ep 1 (minus Pretender), but adds "Over the Mountains, Telescope Eyes and Head Against the Sky". (3 more added; the concept being - the band had grown and there were tons of new folks that hadn't ever heard the first ep... big festivals caused us to combine for the greater good of the many - outweighing the needs of the few) This had a 4c printed single page printed both sides - sorta brown-taupe-greenish with some of Sherri's early art figures with all 6 songs in type on the front. The back had an image of the band together that was taken by a friend at Texas A&M - Commerce after a show they played there. 3.) Laughing City ep - you guys know this one. On "Record Collection". "Over the Mountains", Telescope Eyes" (new version), "I wasn't Prepared" and "Tree Tops" and "Laughing City" were featured. This can still be found on line and in stores - perhaps not as easy to find as Marvelous Things will be". 4.) Marvelous Things - to be released this Tuesday (Dec. 9th) Includes: "Marvelous Things", "Memories", "Sea King" and "The Winter Song". Of course, nobody should be posting either of the last two official releases. The others were just indie stuff the band did and burned and sold. Do whatever you want with that stuff as far as we're concerned. Trivial: Recordings of Sun Feet, Mr. Pine, Sea King, Tree Tops are also well kept secrets - recorded by Mike Mogis that didn't make the cut to the limited "Laughing City" ep; I guess these tunes will forever entombed in dark mystery - secret chambers, vaulted in digital solitude - never to reach the light of laughing ears. After the full length, nobody will really care about all this stuff. Right? Bd |
