Origin (album)
Origin is the first album released by Evanescence on the Big-Wig Enterprises label. Released in 2000, Origin was only sold to audiences in their hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Reportedly, less than 5,000 albums were printed, but due to the band's recent popularity, the number of pirated versions of Origin has sky-rocketed in the past year. Evanescence has been reported to say that fans are freely allowed to copy Origin and the two EPs.
Evanescence rerecorded three songs from this album for their more widespread album Fallen. While "Whisper" and "My Immortal" are fundamentally the same on both albums, "Imaginary" exhibited a major change in structure between Origin and Fallen. In addition to these three songs, the band continues to play "Even in Death" in concert.

"Listen to the Rain" and "Demise" were originally reported as being hidden tracks on this record. However, this is not so. They are bonus tracks, added by bootleggers on the internet, and were not present on the original recording. Some sources report that those 2 tracks are outtakes from the final version.
