about

This special edition version of Counting By Heads contains songs never officially released by the band.
To begin: After The Awakening broke up in 1989, Andrew Horrocks and Ian Tanner began writing and recording songs for some future project. In 1990, they had a new band called "Echo Park."
After the original Counting By Heads was completed, the band Echo Park broke up. The drummer thought this was going to be a live gigging band, but at the time we were mostly a studio band. Thus, Echo Park was reduced to Andrew and Ian.
Shortly thereafter, Gord Stevenson joined the band on drums, and that's when The Obvious was born. Andrew and Ian shopped this original CD to American record companies, and a few years later, they got signed to Liquid Disc Records and began recording a new album for release in 1995.

Included along with all the original songs from the Indie version of Counting By Heads, we have included demos recorded between 1990-92 which were never released. These songs were all done in the Echo Park configuration of the band.

about

Ian Tanner Kitchener, Ontario

I'm Ian Tanner, and music has been my life and livelihood since I was 15 years old. I'm a former member of two bands that got record deals in the 80's, and now, as an older fart, I still make my own music and also write music for tv and movies. My personal musical style is wide and curious. Thanks for checking me out on Bandcamp. Cheers! ... more
