Home of the Demo comes from a quiet period in Anthony Moore’s eventful musical life. The avant-garde keyboardist and composer’s art-pop-cabaret project Slapp Happy had run aground, after moving from Berlin to London and collaborating with Henry Cow for two albums. Virgin Records released his first solo album Out (1976) but passed on the subsequent ones, Flying Doesn’t Help (1979) and World Service (1981), both issued on independents.
