Niceties (LMV007), 2024 Audio Cassette

Released 22 March 2024.

A cassette-only release of my analog 4-track tape recordings from 1989-1997, consisting of 20 songs with a total runtime of ~90 minutes. These tracks were distributed as two separate cassette releases back in the days.

The technical quality of the recordings is still surprisingly good after 30 years (tracks 1-10 slightly showing the limitation of the master tape). Consider however that this is a historical release meant for people interested in my musical origins, and does not hold up to my current releases' standards.

Cassettes are upcycled i.e. repurposed from my personal collection, all individually tested and recorded with fine-tuned Bias. Shell and case may show slight traces of use, but are in good condition. The tape material is good-quality Ferrum from known brands.

The copies are individually dubbed directly from my original analog master tapes (Chrome and Metal), deck-to-deck, without any digital intermediate nor processing. The tracks will play back exactly as recorded and mixed back in the days.
