Two demo CDs in one review. We’re talking about the German rock band RAUMLOS here, who send us both their demos. Let’s start with the first demo CD, recorded in 2000. It contains six tracks and has a playing time of about twenty-five minutes. Before I’ll start to tell you about the songs, let me tell you first, that the information this band send, was very well taken care of, which is a good starter already. RAUMLOS sings in their native tongue, the German language, but that doesn’t have any effect on the catchy songs, that we hear on this demo. The band already exists for eleven years, and right now the line up is Rosie on vocals, Chris Barnes on bass, Hüchte on guitar and Mick on drums. I can hear some influences of old MARILLION (FISH era) and THIN LIZZY in their music. Highlight on this demoCD is a song called “Abgrundtiefâ€. You can hear a cool sudden speed change at the end of this song. While in “Ist Das Noch Punkâ€, they make room for some pogo dancing. So pull away the chairs and go f*cking crazee on this one! “Ich Kann Sehen†is a nice example of how a good catchy song must sound. Their most recent demo is simply called “Demo-CDâ€. It contains three songs, worthy of about eleven minutes. The production is much better here, and also the song structure shows some progression. The band is still growing, and we can surely hear that on these two different sounding demos. I would definately call “Demo-CD†more modest perhaps, but it’s also much more mature than “Unbekanntes Landâ€. We’re dealing with a very talented and promising band here. They have the ability to write catchy songs, that really sound well. Highlight on this second (and most recent) demo-CD for me is the ballad “Das Weiss Nur Ich†and the fast “Nur Manchmalâ€.
