For this one, I wanted to do a legacy North Carolina band because above all we are an NC label and one of my favorite NC bands from my youth was Zegota. Musically Zegota was all over the place. Punk, hardcore, jazz and world elements swirl and seeing them was a mind blowing experience. They released three albums and an EP in their decade plus run. Their 1997 demo was legendary and almost long lost to time. A few digitized versions popped up online from tape rips but I started this project to see if I could restore it somehow. At first, I thought I may only start with a demo tape rip but luck abounded and I was able to get the original master tape. Doug Williams, who recorded it, still had the original ADAT. We pulled it and cleaned it up and halfway through Doug found another demo from 1998 that was totally forgotten even by the band. The 1998 demo has never been released before. The 1998 demo has three demo versions of songs that would be on Movement in the Music and one rerecorded version of a 1997 demo song. $59.95 is one of my favorite tracks from Movement in the Music so hearing the version of that on here is amazing because it has an additional chorus that didn't make the cut in the final version" - Bitter MelodyTRACK LIST: Side A - 1997 DemoBalancing the EquationChecked ElementsUnrestProspects for ProfitUntitled Side B - 1998 DemoBalancing the Equation$59.95Bike SongOpen Disobedience; Bold Resistance
