Titanium Archives | The Dave Hargreaves Project

Titanium

As we had run out of copies of the Lost Soul and Oceans CDs, Dean and I had planned on releasing a compilation album with all of the songs from those sessions, plus as much bonus material from our Archives as we could fit onto a disc.

Believe it or not, we had threats of legal action from an ex-member of the band if we went ahead with this idea, so there's a lot of stuff we can't use.

Still we have managed to find some great stuff from our 4-track archives and these will be all going online.

1999 Rehearsals:
Links to full tracks on mp3.com.au

The Lost Soul
Great live instrumental version of this track.

Angels Cry
If I remember correctly, this was one of those "we better record this before we forget how it goes" things.

Chaos Wars
As you can hear, we had reworked a few parts since the previous version on the "Lost Soul" 1998 CD.

Corporate Earth
Another one of the "overlooked" songs that I wrote sometime between the Lost Soul & Oceans CDs, which never made it to an official release. I always thought this had the potential to be a pretty great song.

Heaps more of this stuff is still to come.

The early stuff:

At some time around 1994 or 1995 we decided to try to make a demo using programmed drums, which we hoped might help us to attract a drummer for the band. Here are some of the surviving recordings from those sessions.

The One, 1995 demo.
I think this was the first new song we put together after Dean joined the band. I couldn't believe it when I found this one, I had almost forgotten that it ever existed. Definately shows some indication of what was still to come. It's a shame we never played this one live with either of the later incarnations of the band.

Kill 1995 demo
I just found this little sample on my hard drive, I think I probably still have the master tape here somewhere. Recorded on the 4-track in the shed at my parent's old place, with no reverb or other effects!

Born Of This Earth ???? demo
This is an other one that I had forgotten even existed and sadly this tiny little sample seem sto be all that survived. I found this stuff on my hard drive and have no idea why I don't seem to have the rest of the song anywhere. If I remember correctly this was my first ever attempt at computer aided recording. Sounds pretty terrible but damn what a great song. This was the first one I ever wrote specifically for Titanium, probably way back in 1993.
