Slaves To The Sun (Demo 2002)
Before I took my massive double album Slaves To The Sun in the studio, I recorded a demo version with a 4-track recorder. There's of course, some tape noise but in the process of playing the cassette it was found on and recording on my computer, the tape become unplayable and this is now the only version I have. Many of the versions of the songs are in some ways better on the demo than on the CD version and stands as a very interesting alternate to the CD version. It's a more compact version of the album, shorter scaled down and seemingly a little slower, or at least the tracks without drums seem that way to me. Some songs that would appear on the final version do not appear on this demo, mostly because some songs were written and added in the studio and other older songs like "Tempt & Bind" were after thoughts, which I had recorded before and felt no need to demo. Unlike the CD version, which has a few guest musicians here and there, the demo version is all me (Barry Paul) on every instrument. https://archive.org/details/SlavesToTheSunDemo2002

The House Of Lies
1st of 2 CD's I made in 2004. The songs are half about the crash and burn of my first marriage and half about the start of a new relationship. The recording is far from perfect and it is essentially a home demo I peddled while I played dirty coffee shops in places I barely remember now. Without the chosen obsession of writing and recording this album at that time, I'm really not sure how I could have survived the time period. https://archive.org/details/ThehouseofLies
Blood Of The Poor
This is the 2nd CD I wrote and recorded in 2004. This is probably my loudest, heaviest album, contrasting the mostly clean "House of Lies" CD I made earlier in the year. Many of the riffs go back as far as 1999 and can be heard in very raw form on the "Staplyr" practice demos (soon to be added to this site). https://archive.org/details/bloodofthepoor
Don't Give Up
Don't Give Up is a CD I made between 2006-2008. Probably my best effort. It's not perfect but I'm damn proud of how it turned out, considering what I had to work with at the time. This album is 100% my effort, with no backing musicians or guest spots. I wrote, performed and produced every part on my own. https://archive.org/details/barrypauldontgiveup
UNIVERSE
Universe is a home demo I made during a very difficult time in my life (2008-2009) The recording is very quirky and goes a lot of weird places. It's very much a concept album and has a brutal story to tell. I plan to talk about it in the future on the show, so I offer it here for those who'd like to hear it ahead of time. https://archive.org/details/Universe2009FullAlbumBarryPaul
