“The Pre-Working Demos” is a collection of home demo tracks recorded during the early 80’s. These are some of the very first songs composed by Holger Wobker and Peter Sawatzki and recorded just on cassette tapes. Some are sung in German, others in English. There is also a first version of “You” initially called “Youmavision”. Some of these demos, that Holger used to play on the record store where he worked, helped the band to get the attention and a contract to release their first and best-selling single “You” and the debut album “The Working Model” in 1983.

REVIEW:

"Boytronic, founded by Holger Wobker and Peter Sawatzki, made sounds that represented a then-West Germany on the brink of the future. Pioneers of a coldwave-preceding end of synthpop, but also partial to a less 'brokenhearted robot'-type atmosphere, the group originally released two records before a naming rights debacle ensued that saw their record label essentially rebuild the band from scratch with completely different members. But that's another story. Instead, then, let's focus on The Pre-Working Demos and the prototype noises that are here. As fans will have picked up on, these are some of Wobker and Swatzki's first ever compositions, recorded in the period prior to their debut album, The Working Model. Fans of Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Neu!, Lebanon Hanover and Siekiera should be taking notes then. If not sticking this in their shopping cart immediately."
