Waldorf Demo CDs and Music



This one came in on the Waldorf list. Dr. Georg Müller had the following to say:
"I think it is the first Demo CD Waldorf was releasing, before they only had Music Cassettes. Back in that time the Music for the Demos was more Rock/Pop than in the later years. There is no release date on the CD, but it has to be around 1996.

4 Songs on the CD
1. Planet Wave by Peter Gorges (vocals by Macintalk)
2. Like a Wave by Christian Ledwig (vocals by Axel Hartmann)
3. This Wheel´s on Fire by Peter Gorges (vocals by Hilmar Kusenberg)
4. Cyberscore by Peter Gorges

Guitar on 2. and 3. by Rocco Klein

Pulse, MicroWave, WAVE and Sampled Drums

At Musicmesse in Frankfurt they released that CD and has the songs played live in their closed showroom. The year before they did that as well, they had Saga Keyboarder Jim Crichton in the show and they played "Scratching the Surface" beside other stuff. There is no record of that session from what I know.

The CD in 1998 was then "Alien Control" based on MWII/XT and Pulse.

Peter Gorges later did a series of Planet Wave Songs which where up on mp3.com for a while, here is one reference to be found:

Followed by:
"The "Planet Wave" CD is labeled "Waldorf Project", the CD "Alien Control" is labeled "Waldorf Project2" and the CD "main output" is labeled "Waldorf Project3"

So the years are more like this

1997 - Waldorf Project - Planet Wave
1998 - Waldorf Project2 - Alien Control
1999 - Waldorf Project3 - main output

The Tape Phase was started in 1990 with the "Micro - Wave Demonstration Tape 1", there was a WAVE Demo Tape later."
