::Demo Discussion Thread::

I've heard all of the demos which are available at http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/songs/mp3.html .

I came to conclusion that some of them, if remastered, could be great hits. There's lots of good material to start with. So I don't understand how Ivan can say they have little material. With someone writing good lyrics (like Polienko) and a good producer, you can grab some of these demos and turn them into great hits. Obviously Shapovalov doesn't have what it takes to do that - or he might not show what he's up to when it concerns making songs for the new album.

Anyway, I've added here a list of my favorite tracks from all the ones I've heard, which I think are worth checking out.

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K1/Track04.mp3 - bad demo, but good composition.
http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K1/Track06.mp3 - GREAT composition
http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K1/Track11.mp3 - could be remade into an awesome emotional rock-trance track
http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K1/Track12.mp3 - I have no idea of what he is saying in russian, but the composition doesn't sound bad, and it's catchy. Could also turn out good if remastered to a rock beat mixed with some trance synths.
http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K2/Track01.mp3 - here I also don't know if the lyrics are good or not, but the composition is good and when careful remastered to rock-trance it could be a really powerfull track.

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K2/Track12.mp3 - ok, I know that this demo sounds like some 80's Pet Shop Boys song... But, I think it could be remade into a good base for a nice chorus for a t.A.T.u. song - the type of ATTSS / NNG, with powerful and fast rock beats and that techno synth.

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K2/Track15.mp3 - horrible demo, the lyrics are probably not brilliant, but the rhythm and the singing style definately fits t.A.T.u's style

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K3/Track08.mp3 - if this was remastered into a faster techno-rock version, with a more powerful vibe to it, it could be a sort of NNG-type song

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K3/Track12.mp3 - could be a GREAT track for t.A.T.u.'s comeback

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K4/Track06.mp3 - could also be used for a nice rock ballad a la "Nichya"-style

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K4/Track07.mp3 - change the lyrics, remaster the song adding powerful rock beats, add Yulia and Lena's voices and a more agressive singing to this one and it could turn out good

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K4/Track18.mp3 - the demo has a sort of latino vibe at times, probably due to lack of other musical sources. removing it and adding a darker side to it, some trance synths and strong rock beats with powerful lyrics - could an ATTSS-successor

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K5/Track12.mp3 - the singer sounds like Lena Kiper. I don't understand the lyrics, but the composition is really good. Awesome beats on the 2nd half of the song.

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K5/Track13.mp3 - could be remastered into a fast agressive rock-trance track with a repetitive chorus

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K5/Track16.mp3 - good demo to create a song like "Stars". I think this would sound great with some rap inbetween the piano parts, and also with some oriental vibe to it.

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K6/Track04.mp3 - weird, but could be worth remastering, speed it up (this version is too slow, needs to be faster to bring more emotion) and add strong rock beats, could be nice with Yulia and Lena's voices

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K6/Track05.mp3 - could work very well with the girls' voices. I don't know if the lyrics are any good, but the music is interesting, has a lot of power


Now some weird stuff:

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K2/Track03.mp3 - doesn't the first part of this song remind of "I Vse Normalno"?? The way it's sung, it's pretty much the same... (horrible voice, btw LOL)

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K3/Track09.mp3 - WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! WEIRD!!

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K5/Track07.mp3 - Hello? You're making a demo for t.A.T.u., not RICKY MARTIN

http://podnebesnaya.rambler.ru/avi/t...K5/Track09.mp3 - I don't know why, but this reminds of a mixture of the Halloween movie theme + "Nichya" by Nichya...



So, if you have any opinions on any of these tracks, go ahead and share your comments!

Also feel free to add some tracks you consider good.


P.S. On a more personal note, I'd love to hear Lena singing this song
