It’s been a few years and I am very busy with work (and my motivation has been low) so instead of finishing the 2 (and a half) albums that we recorded in Denver, I found the early masters of our albums F***ed Up and Very Rough Mix. I decided to re-convert them to (higher quality) mp3 and ogg formats and make the full albums available for free.
F***ed Up was recorded in 1999 and released in 2000… we were listening to lots of crazy music at the time so it’s kind of an eclectic batch of songs. These masters are off the reel-to-reel and not cleaned up and tweaked (and normalized) like the actual albums were, but I think it’s worth a listen. If you like them I can probably dig up a copy of the release version of the albums and get you a copy (for a small fee).
Very rough Mix was our first real album (we had a demo album entitled Rough Mix, but it’s out of print at this point) and we had a lot of fun recording it.
I used to work in a digital studio and the lo-fi style is intentional, I was growing tired of the loudness war going on and I prefer the way things were recorded in the late 60’s and early 70’s and was really into bands like Pussy Galore , Boss Hog, 20 Miles, and Honeymoon Killers, so I went for a certain sound that some will like… other’s will not.
I converted them as HQ VBR mp3 and ogg, so they are a bit bigger than a lot of low bitrate mp3’s that you may be used to, but the frequencies are all there… =)
OK, here is the early (pre-release analog) version of the album F***ed Up from 2000 by The Beckament Band.

Thanks for making this stuff free!!! I am sick of the whole MAFIAA/pay to play system, I mean radio has always been free.
Tom
I like Quick5… Kinda a punky 80’s sound. Hope you guys record another album.
I found Crazy on an mp3 download site, I like it. Some of your other songs are weird though. At first I thought that they didn’t belong on the same album, but on the 2nd listen it makes more sense.
I hope you guys will release the other albums or songs when you get a chance!
