Ultraelectromagneticpop!
Ultraelectromagneticpop! is the debut studio album by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads, first released on July 1, 1993, by BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. It was produced by the band (credited as “Dem”) and Ed Formoso.
Eraserheads formed in 1989 at University of the Philippines Diliman and signed a recording contract with BMG in 1992. They recorded Ultraelectromagneticpop! from July 1992 to April 1993. The recording was hampered by several reasons such as frequent brownouts and Formoso leaving the studio for undisclosed reasons.
The album spawned hit singles such as "Ligaya”, “Toyang”, and “Pare Ko”, best known for its explicit lyrics. It is often credited with revitalizing the alternative rock genre in the Philippines during the 1990s.
The members of Eraserheads met while attending University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City. They formed a band in 1989 and named themselves Eraserheads, a nod to the David Lynch film Eraserhead (1977).
On January 26, 1991, the band recorded a nine-song demo tape at the house garage of drummer Raymund Marasigan, in Candelaria, Quezon. The demos were said to be influenced by The Cure as well as ska and reggae genres. The demo tape was distributed and circulated around record labels, although it was dismissed; one record label commented that the demos were “not pop enough”. Marasigan gave a copy to his Humanities professor Robin Rivera, who assisted them in remixing the demo recordings to a higher quality. The polished demo tape was titled Pop-U!, as an irreverent response to those who turned them down.
Pop-U! earned the band a spot at Club Dredd, where they initially saw little success. They decided to write their own material which soon earned them a cult following. One song, "Pare Ko", became popular for its explicit lyrics. The band soon landed an out-of-town gig as an opening act for Introvoys in Cebu. Buendia wrote the song “Combo on the Run” about their experiences there.
Meanwhile, Buendia worked as a copywriter for BMG and wrote songs with the band at night. Their material later caught the attention of A&R director Vic Valenciano, who commented that they were "technically very raw but that there was something promising in them." In 1992, BMG signed the band into a three-year record deal.
Eraserheads recorded Ultraelectromagneticpop! from July 1992 to April 1993. They initially worked with Ed Formoso for production duties.
