INTRODUCTION
Meat Douglas was first known simply as MEAT. MEAT formed in a basement in mid-Missouri in 2000. The original line up was a 16 year old "producer" who provided all music and a toddler vocalist. The original concept started out as a spoof of "Industrial" music, with a 3-5 year old providing vocals. All music was made on computer programs, and all vocals by the Toddler were spontaneously recorded, with no instruction on what to say. Several dozen tracks were recorded, most have been lost, but about 20 or so exist on various CD-Rs in the MEAT Douglas archive. Eventually these will be made available on this blog.
Eventually this musical relationship had to come to an end, but MEAT continued on. To mark a distinction between line ups, Douglas was added to the project's name. This addition was completely random in nature. MEAT Douglas became bored with working on computers and completely abandoned the use of them for music production. Instead adopting the use of drum machines, synths, found sounds, cassette tapes, home made instruments, etc.
Definitely Against the Future; the first album post-computer use was recorded on 4 track tapes from 2006-07 and released in 2008 in an extremely limited edition of 35 copies. These were CD-Rs with artwork printed from hand carved linoleum blocks. Many were given to friends and sold online. A very small number of these are still available. If you want to purchase this album, e-mail; meatdouglas [at] gmail.com
a digital version of the album is also available for download, with all artwork included...click below..
MEAT Douglas also has tons of material that has never been "released" or uploaded to any sites. These will be regularly posted on this blog for download. The next collection to be posted for download is the; "MEAT Douglas....is leaving town" album that was sold at the last MEAT Douglas show before moving away from Columbia Missouri. Work on new material is always happening as well.
