I would love to hear those demos too.

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

I think you didnt get the irony...

I did! I did! Just forgot to put that smiley face, so here it is

i dont think they exist on the internet

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

Where did you get ahold of it?

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

Would you be able to upload it in any way?

I don't have equipments to get the sound from cassette to the computer.

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

those demos had been rumored for a long while, and tolkki confirmed this in various interviews as well, so , upload that shit godammit

On that subject, does anyone has a copy of the Popkiller demo?

^i've been looking a long time for that

dang! bring back some memories, miss k talked about that somewhere, I believe it was a finnish magazine, I doubt it really existed outside band enviroment.....we should ask jari.

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.

Are you thinking about the following three songs?
11th_Hour.mp3
Rosalie.mp3
The_Hopeless.mp3

Don't believe so. Those are from her other band, right?

I'm talking about the recordings she did with Strato.

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?

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.

Hi! This is odd. I wasn't in touch with this topic until a few weeks ago when a friend told me that a friend of Tolkki's brother got the Fourth Dimension Demos. Besides that, I didn't know they even existed! However, 3 days ago Tolkki posted in his facebook that he's got 7 Fourth Dimension demos and he'd sending the Fourth Dimension demos to everyone who sent him an email. I did, but he only sent me Against the Wind, and since I didn't want to insist with more emails, other fans sent me the other Demos they've requested separatedly. Truly a community work!
Again, I wasn't in touch with this topic. I don't know if there is even Stratovarius, Lord of the Wasteland, 030366 or Call of the Wilderness demos out there. These I've uploaded are the 7 Tolkki claimed to have.

Marvelous! Somehow you're able to get all these demos and live recordings that I never would've thought existed.

I agree with the comment from a few years back that Tolkki sounds better on Winter than Kotipelto. But all in all it's good that they went with a different singer on the album.
