Picked it up due to your post, been on repeat for days & can't wait for the tape to arrive (hopefully in less than a month!)

Glad some one grabbed it! It's a great value for the amount of music as well.

I picked it up around New Years on some intrepid STBCer's recommend and can confirm it's greatness.

Well....why not? Haven't listened through the tapes since we first received them...kinda interesting.

My shit drumming throughout, but especially on Side 1, is really....shit! But y'know, I actually dig it haha.

Anyway, not sure if I'll make it through all four sides in one go*

BLOOD! - Evacuated Materials
Label : Skrot Up

The cover art catched my eye. I bought this in....2010 I think. Way back when I was ordering from tape labels on MySpace. The music is an ensemble of beeps and boops with droning distortions and loops, like hardware noises and wires and tape hisses. it's a little bit noisy but it's not a harsh noise tape. it's more like, ambient signals and noises from hardware transmissions.

I should copy this to digital. When I get a tape deck.

@Static - What the fuck? Do you have Osamu back there, too? Corpus Cristi, man.

@Nate - Your description intrigues me...

Received this beautiful package in the mail today. So far listened to tape 1 of Suoni Della Paura III, it's wonderful. If tape 2 stays on par then this will be one of the best tapes I've picked up in ages. The packaging is fantastic as well.

A couple of new cassettes. One from Werkstatt in very low numbers:

Very Blood Music looking cover art, but I think the music is unique. Reminds me a bit of the parts of 80s scores that I don't find overly mined. Yet.

And one from house favorite, Ogre:

Each side of this tape is inspired by a Ballard short story. I plan on reading and re-reading them, respectively, when the cassette arrives.
