With little money, the 23-year-old holed himself up in a room in
Cleveland with a Macintosh computer, three keyboards, a cheap sampler,
and a four-track cassette recorder. His plan was to record an entire
demo himself, playing all the parts, and then, if he sold it, to
re-record with a full band. The dream came only half true. He got the
record deal, but decided to simply release the
demo itself in 1989 as his debut record, “Pretty Hate Machine.”
