Beautifully done, sir. That box set looks intense. Will pick up the reg'la tape asap!

You are a gent! I thank you

Just 5 copies of the limited edition left! Grab it while you can. Cheers. https://burningallwitches.bandcamp.com/releases

Radiation exposure from OWS Static Club.

Glad to finally get this from the @OneWayStatic folk. Another excellent job, tho' worried which body part will drop off now it's out the bag...

That nice & low sequential number may however make up for the effects of the radioactive dosage.

Those tapes look fantastic. Looking forward to receiving mine.

[/url]Cool to see this at a relatively local store. Though I've seen plenty of OWS and a couple of Strange Disc LPs in the wild, this is the first cassette of theirs I've run into. Cool stuff.

Think that one was out for Cassette Store Day last year if memory serves...?

Also saw Shogun Assassin & Surf Nazis doing the rounds then.

Always liked the way OWS went the extra mile with their tapes releases.... seemed Seb & co genuinely dug the format.

That's a lot of past tense. Was ditching the cogs part of the OWS acquisition/merger announcement?

Was the cassette a Strange Discs or OWS release? I had it in my head that Slime and Shogun were OWS? Did they just distribute?

yeah OWS did the release and distro for the tapes.

Strange Disc did the slime city vinyl
Light In The Attic did the shogun vinyl

Hi @mateo - er no, or rather i don't know...just used that tense 'cos we were discussing past tapes (and, full disclosure, was half cut and half deaf last night having just got in from watching the four horsemen of the synth-apocalypse S U R V I V E in London)... don't have any intel on what the future holds.

Obviously I hope the tapes & the lurve continue. ;)

I hope so, too. How was S U R V I V E?

@mateo

I described S U R V I V E to the friend I went with as 'like a grunge Kraftwerk'... ;)

Shirts & baseball caps.... all four in a row pawing their machines & facing the audience like the German synth pioneers.

From what I could tell they played the latest album in more or less its entirety and none of the Stranger Things score/s.

With the four of them twiddling at least two machines each, sometimes three, it was a bit like watching a synth workshop. A very loud one at that. I awoke the next day with a slightly deafened ear.

On at 9.30pm in a blaze of dry ice and low-slung lighting so it shone directly in your face, off at 10.30pm sharp. No encore.

Keep 'em wanting more ;)

Interesting audience mix too.Lots of folks with interesting haircuts wearing black, and then a trio of young girls who seemed to have come for a bit of a boogie in front of us.

Any other STBC-ers see them on this UK tour?

That sounds fun, Spun. And a nice snap to boot!

A trio of releases from Greek label, KinetiK. The Maiovvi brought me there, but after sampling their wares, I snapped up the John Avery and the Sava.Geo as well.

Any of you rapscallions just scoop up a bushel of John Carpenter tapes?

Not I, what was the looted treasure?

I can't even talk about it.

Just finished listening to this -- I've owned it for a while but couldn't remember what it sounded like. Logan Seguin's "SS-VNTRX 34000." It's billed as a soundtrack, but I can't find a reference to a film. It's has synth work in it, but it's more like ambient industrial music -- kind of like calm Throbbing Gristle or early sci-fi electronics.

I love this guy. Faltermeyer was a king in the 80s. Looking forward to unwrapping this puppyear soon.

If anyone’s interested I spotted 3 copies of Slime City tape in a record shop in Hackney last week, Lion Coffee + Records which is apparently owned by the drummer from Florence and the Machine
