AREA88 return with the addition of two new members, several live performances
under their belt, and a few brand new songs. Both the addition of new personnel
and performing live has done wonders for the band by adding more diverse
musical input as well as forcing the rewrite of all the old material that is
performed live. In fact the only track that remains in its original form on
this demo is 'Shameless' which is probably the weakest track. AREA88
has also strayed from the typical club material with tracks like 'Nephilim' and
'Invisible' which showcase the bands ability to compose slower, more
emotionally laced tracks without sacrificing the complexity of there music. For
the club freaks their are still upbeat songs like 'No Release From' and
'Recessions' which should put you in the correct stomping mood. For those
into more eclectic experimental pieces there are noisy, yet still rhythmic
tracks like 'Sinister Thing'. This new AREA88 demo exhibits a definite positive
upswing in their compositional skills, enough so that I can imagine the
Portland trio to quite possibly break through into the next level.
