Demography > The Basement Tapes is a compilation album by 16volt, released on November 14, 2000, by Cleopatra Records.[1][2] The album comprises a collection of old, unfinished tracks by the band. Specifically, it contains the Imitation cassette produced in 1991, which helped 16volt secure a place on Re-Constriction Records, and "Out of Time", which was cut from their first album, Wisdom, due to time constraints.[3][4]

Reception

[edit]

Fabryka awarded the album three out of four and said "Demography sounds a way hermetic with lots of electronics, less of raw guitars, more of bass sound."[5]
