ANAKRID

About Me

Discography:
Countless cassette-only and CDR only demo releases between 1989 and 2003 which were generally only given to close friends. Some had titles/covers and were "released" in limited editions, but I'm afraid I've kept no records nor copies -- so your guess is as good as mine. Wish I still had a copy of 1989's "Anakrid Aural Presentation". I bet it would be good for a laugh.
"Reality is Elitist and Other Smashist Sound Manifestoes" (stereonucleosis) CD - 1st "official" release put out by a grant from the Arts Commission. I still consider this a "demo" release, but it was the first Anakrid available to the public at large.
"Father" LP (stereonucleosis) hand numbered, limited to 350 copies
"Rapture of the Deep" LP (stereonucleosis) hand numbered, limited to 350 copies
