from Demo Archive Volume 2: Red by The Afterthought
about
I'd had a great guitar riff kicking around for a couple of years, and eventually we came up with some sequenced music to go with it. Then Colin took that, bolted on a couple of other ideas I'd sequenced on my own, sped it up, added some great synth sounds and percussion and made a rather spectacular instrumental. It just needed the live layers adding after that, which included the electric guitar. The guitar riff was used again as the basis of the song The Inbetweenie.

about
The Afterthought Norwich, UK
The Afterthought's use of signature keyboard, guitar and vocal sounds, combined with an intentionally understated
production, give them an identity occasionally reminiscent of the UK's eclectic post-punk new wave scene of the late 1970s.
The Afterhtought sound has been described as 'Alternative indie rock with a touch of fairytale'.
