Demonstration Tape (1997-2007) is a 2-disc retrospective compilation, commemorating Solvent’s 10-year career in electronic music. Late-2007 saw Solvent touring all over the world, including stints opening for VNV Nation (certainly the biggest name in today’s EBM/Gothic scene), and with Freezepop (heroes to synthpop kids and Guitar Hero enthusiasts worldwide). “Demonstration Tape” was originally conceived and compiled by Solvent, in order to sell at the shows, and to serve as an introduction to the Solvent catalog for these newest listeners.In January 2008, Ghostly International will release “Demonstration Tape” to the public at large, both as a limited edition double-cd (700 copies only), and in digital format. The 27-track collection documents all the ‘hits’ of the past decade, as well as some of Solvent’s own personal favorites, many of which have been long out of print. Also featured are 3 previously unreleased songs, including Solvent’s latest vocoder pop track and recent live-set favorite, “In Light”.Also included are several examples of Solvent’s exemplary vocoder-synthpop sound, featuring hits like “For You,” “Wish,” and (of course) Solvent’s signature song, “My Radio,” still a dance-floor staple everywhere from techno clubs in Ibiza to goth clubs in Berlin.
