"UltraElectroMagneticPop!" is the debut album of the Filipino alternative rock band The Eraserheads. "UltraElectroMagneticPop!" spawned hit songs such as "Ligaya", "Tindahan Ni Aling Nena", and "Pare Ko". The album brought the underground Philippine college rock scene into public awareness and the emergence of "Eraserheadsmania" because of successive hit singles and sold-out concerts.

History

Though "Ultra" was their debut album, most of the songs were recycled from original compositions that were written since their college days in 1989. Hoping to have their songs published, the band recorded a demo tape in 1991 and shopped around record labels and radio stations, only to be rejected at every turn. A friend-professor from their school, UP Diliman, helped them record an improved version of the demo tape which was named "Pop U!", a play on the invective "f--- you", in response to the people who turned them down. After a year of being passed around the underground music scene, the demo tape made its way to the hands of BMG Records (Philippines), who signed a three-year contract with the band.

The title of the album is a pun on ultraelectromagnetic tops, one of the weapons of the Japanese anime serial Voltes V, which was massively broadcast in the Philippines.

Trivia

#"Pare Ko" and "Walang Hiyang Pare Ko" are actually the same song. The latter is a clean, radio-friendly version of the former.
#"Ganjazz" is a song where the singer sings with stereotypical jazz singer sounds. This is shortest song in the album and one of the shortest of all the band songs. Vocals are by Jojo Bacasmas.
# "Toyang" was slightly inspired by "Too Young", a composition written by Sylvia Dee and Sidney Lippman which was well known for Nat King Cole's rendition. The song alsong makes reference to several Filipino folk songs and as well as the Paul McCartney-penned Silly Love Songs.
