Product Description
Debut EP, self released by the band and not available in stores. This item is a professionally pressed CD (not a CDR!) packaged in a paper sleeve. Includes the tracks Butterfly, Inside, Broken, Falling In, and Numb. A very hard to find item and a must for TTV collectors.

Knowing Tapping The Vein was recording a new CD I thought there was no better time to take a listen to their previous releases. I never forgot how powerful their music was, but I forgot how much beauty is to behold as well. Take this CD for example, Butterfly, it's an EP in which four of the five tracks included are featured on thier major label debut, The Damage.
I'll be the first to admit that a lot of times EPs sound crappy or are extremely poorly produced, but Tapping The Vein is the complete opposite. Yes the production could've benefited with a little more time spent on it but that raw, sensual, even tribal energy is so easily heard it ridiculous. Heather Thompson's vocals are gritty yet still capture the vulnerability of The Damage. The band is also a bit more adventurous with a lot more programming (Inside), more heavy, and yet about the same amount of dreaminess.
If you're like me and are just in love with Tapping The Vein then having this is a must. You get one unreleased track in the form of Inside. While not completely holding everything in it certainly isn't overdone either. The heaviness is along the lines of The Ledge if that helps any. As flat out amazing as that song is, it's the songs from The Damage that offer the most memories. Butterfly doesn't stray far from the album version but Heather's voice is positively genuine (like every other song) and so much more angry. The drums pound harder in these tracks, the guitars raise eyebrows more (not groundbreaking but still great), and the bass is is actually loud enough to hear!
All in all, if you're a fan of The Damage then tracking down this EP wouldn't hurt at all. The packaging pretty much sucks though. Mine came in nothing more than a paper slipcover and it was brand new. The music speaks for itself however, so that complaint doesn't even matter. Great band, amazing music, what more is there to say?
As always, since the tracklisting isn't posted, here it is:
Butterfly
Inside
Broken
Falling In
Numb
