It'd be pretty cool to hear those demos, it'd be a pretty different experience yet also pretty damn cool.

I have this one. It's recorded on MC and title is Stratovarius demo -94. I have to say that i like Tolkki's singing on Fright night-Dreamspace but on this one it's awful. Winter is still better with Tolkki's voice tough.

There are no Lord of the wasteland and Call of the Wilderness. Instead here is Soldiers prayer which is on Tolkki's solo album

I got it from my friend who was worked at T&T records in mid 90's.

take one old walkman (Cassete device)

conect the hearphones out to one amply or notebook, or desktop in mic "IN" and in soft console play with "Gains"

Realtek shitty standart have this options 12 or 24 DB gains

if you use asio is better, or you can edit the audio level with whatever editior as "Nero Soundtrak"

really isnt harder. you dont have a walkman from your teenage moment?

you dont have fun, really xd

this is the cable that you need

Any other news on Popkiller/4D demos/any other hidden goodies? I might need some extra stuff to pad my Strato discography binge while I'm waiting for Eternal to come out.

Dude, that was just one part of their publicity stunt, having a female singer. That and tolkki getting stabbed and shit. Whatever. I bet if you go back far enough in the forum you'll read about the truth of it all. But you think they recorded vocals with that chick? Laughing

I guess Soldier Prayer on Tolkki's first soloalbum is one of the demos.

That's true. Those 3 songs are from her previous band. And the popkiller demos are probably non-existing.
