Recorded in various places on various machines of varying quality. Drum-machines, fuzz bass, overdriven guitars, pounds of feedback and heavily processed vocals. This Chatterbox CD is a collection of demos recorded prior to "Despite". The first 3 tracks were recorded at Mortal's studio. I got to watch. The next five tracks were recorded by Jeff, Garrett Morgan and myself on my 4-track at Garrett's house. I think I did some yelling and/or noise here and there. I think these were recorded prior to the Mortal demos, but maybe not. This would've been circa 93, so you'll forgive my poor memory. :) The next two songs are just Jeff and I (he on guitar and me on drums), recorded in the ex-Crucified House. The last credited song is just me, it was something I recorded for Jeff that he decided not to use. There's also a "hidden song" at the end that was recorded in my garage with Jeff, Christmas of 92. - Chris Reid 2002 What eventually became Chatterbox was conceived sometime in 1991-92 by Jeff Bellew during a conversation with Chris Reid about the current state of what the kids were calling industrial music. Jeff then proceeded to record a quick demo on Greg Minier's 4-track with Chris hollering on an early version of Without God/Divide (Sadly, that tape has been lost to the ashes of time...). He then gathered together enough songs to record a proper set of demos at Mortal's studio and another batch of 4-track recordings, and went got himself a deal with Tooth And Nail. After a less-then-stellar tour (I've seen the footage), Jeff put Chatterbox away to become the additional guitarist for a little combo called Stavesacre. He's currently living with his family in the witness protection program.
