early demos

Prior to the release of their debut EP Zea, dEUS recorded a series of demo tapes in 1991 & 1992 :

- dEUS And All
- Crazy & Tonedeaf
- Crazy & Tonedeaf 2
- No More Soda For Clarence

dEUS And All

side one
1. Jimmy Dean
2. Guzzi
3. With This Song
4. Under Siege

side two
1. Violins & Happy Endings
2. Song for a Jacket
3. Big World
4. Waiting for My Man

dEUS were then Tom Barman, Stef Kamil Carlens, Klaas Janzoons, Mark Meyers (guitar) and Kris Daans (drums). Most songs written by dEUS, except Waiting for My Man which is a song from the Velvet Underground & Nico album. But it's a totally different version, they mix together Waiting For My Man and Heroin from the same album. Their manager was already Filip Eyckmans.

Crazy & Tonedeaf

side one
1. Dea
2. Mute

1. Via
2. Teachers

All songs but Teachers written by dEUS, and Dea was later renamed Zea. Teachers is a song by Leonard Cohen.

Crazy & Tonedeaf 2

side one
1. Dea
2. Mute

side two
1. Manhattan
2. Gregory Peck
3. Right As Rain

Manhattan (sung by Tom & Mark Meyers) is another Leonard Cohen cover - the original Cohen song is called First We Take Manhattan. The sleeve notes introduce the band like this :

Klaas Janzoons - violin
Mark Meyers - guitar madness
Jules El Diabolo de B. - drums
Stef Kamil Carlens - bass
Tom Barman - voice / guitar

Manhattan and Gregory Peck were recorded 'live in Wommelgem' - live in manager Filip's living room :)

No More Soda For Clarence

side one
1. Zea
2. Violins & Happy Endings
3. Right As Rain

side two

Their first "serious" demo, produced by Vermeersch/Vervloesem. At the time Christian Pierre had joined Filip Eyckmans and they managed dEUS as 'Jack and Johnny' until Tom Barman got the idea of the name 'Musickness'. 'Jack and Johnny' released the first Zea EP and A Beatband's Jintro Travels the Word in a Skirt.
