machines 98/99
After the completion of the demo BoxSet the HTP set off to write a
string of new songs. The songs become more complicated, and the
arrangements get more refined. For "Machines" Richard decides the band
needs a project oriented approach. The new songs will be produced as
a series of three CDs with three songs each.
During the Machines sessions, the HTP discover that the song 99% sounds
best when played on acoustic instruments. This discovery forms the basis
for the famous HTP unplugged session in the Melkweg.
The album Machines contains all 9 original songs as well as the track
"Dream girl" that was composed for the CD "In greep van de Buuren 2".
Machines complete is the first full-length CD by the howtoplays.
