tapes

[0bleak]

I have some as well. They put out a tape by my friend and I met people from a couple of the acts associated with them, nice people. I'm not huge on industrial/noise stuff but was getting into SPK, Clock DVA, TG etc. around the time acts such as Puce Mary, Pharmakon and Croation Armor were debuting/becoming popular. Perhaps off topic, were/are you a fan of that wave in general or anything in particular from it?

Puce Mary and Pharmakon, yeah.
I don't think I ever checked out Croation Amor.

I actually used a Pharmakon track in a mix once since it mixed with ~120bpm stuff.
Coincidentally (in the context of this thread) the artwork for the mix is an image of the inside of a half an exposed cassette shell tape with the title Permanently Perishable
😄

Probably the only thing I've had close to a holy grail was the unofficial RRR version of the The New Blockaders / Coil / Vortex Campaign cassette which I sold a few years ago. https://www.discogs.com/release/235...paign-The-New-Blockaders-Coil-Vortex-Campaign

but I've had people regularly making crazy offers in the low hundreds on these the last few years:

https://www.discogs.com/release/4385641-Clipping-Untitled (but not so much lately since it was reissued)

this is nice:


I'd get a copy if it weren't for the expensive shipping to the states (almost twice as much for shipping as the tape).
