Deniz Tek "Orphan Tracks" 1989 + Deniz Tek & Chris Masuak "Let The Kids Dance" 1991 - 7"/45rpm

As co-founder and team leader of Radio Birdman it's hard to believe that Deniz didn't touch a guitar between 1982 and 1991. Other interests for the "ICEMAN" include flying jets and of course medicine. From TV Jones to Radio Birdman to Visitors to New Race and now his solo efforts it's seems Deniz Tek can do no wrong. I won't go into a detailed history as most people already know it. Let's just say this man changed the way I think about music as a whole and the music he has recorded over the years for me is unbelievable!! - from: http://perso.orange.fr/birdmanpage/tek.htm

In 1989 Deniz' musical career was at an all time low. Not having played on any records or done any shows for 5 years, he didn't expect to revive it. This was the context when the two Frenchmen, Bernard and Jean Marc from Revenge Records, came knocking after getting Deniz' address from Ron Asheton. The same guys had done the reissues of New Race. Deniz appreciated these albums as they were well done and featured the original vocals.
They were interested to see if Deniz had any old demo tapes or live stuff that they could possibly release. Deniz let them look around and take a box of tapes, although he later regretted this. The tapes they took contained a range of good studio demos, basement jams, and some home drum machine stuff not in any way up to technical standards, despite the songs themselves being good. - from: http://www.deniztek.com/discography/768/dt_orphan_tracks.html

Deniz Tek & Chris Masuak "Let The Kids Dance" 1991 - 7"/45rpm

This was a French vinyl 45 RPM only release of impromptu live studio recordings of Let The Kids Dance and Sweet Jane, recorded at Sugar Hill Studios, Houston Texas in 1991 during the last ever Hitmen recording sessions for the Moronic Inferno album. The band had a night off album work and got drunk on tequila in the studio, resulting in an "old favourites" jam party. Mort Bradley always vigilant at the control desk, captured it on tape. Masuak plays the Hammond B3 organ on these songs
