just found this thread via the Kahn & Neek tape thread and wanted to brag about my very first musical release ever: In 2002 I was featured (as MC Skukol) on a tape only release of Cologne / Bonn based rap crew Cool Clique. I wasn´t producing back then, just rapping all day The tape is quite worth a couple of quit now, if you can find it somewhere...lol

in a world with high emphasis on sound quality, I'd pay the extra cash to not have my music distributed on the worst medium we've dealt with in modern times

just sayin you can't dodge the hipster factor when cd's are infinitely cheaper than cassettes.... especially when they're doing 4 color glossy J-cards, and 2 tone printing on the tapes. Ruins the whole cheaper medium argument.

[Shum]

cool.

yeah but when you're doing horrific obscene power electronics having it sound all grimey and tape like adds a certain quality to it that enhances what the music is like anyway.

Some people still have tape players and like to use them...isn't it just that simple, or am I missing something?

except the tapes you're listening to are likely Type I Dolby B, which are total shit, and were likely duplicated at INSANE speeds which is terrible of sound quality and creates notorious amounts of Signal noise to noise. So if the vibe you're going for is being 15 riding around in a pontiac grand am with factory speakers, the left one blown out, the right one rattling because its ripped, your default GM tape deck cranked up to 9 on the bass 8 on the trebble, and the cassette heads laced with pot smoke and droning at a -8% speed then yeah I'm imagining there is some vibe to it. The vibe being either I don't know enough to know this sounds like shit or I'm trying so hard to enjoy a cassette that I don't care how bad it sounds.

I mean if you really wanna be old school you need to buy a transceiver and broadcast the tape to a $100 or less boombox, you need to record it on a casio blank cassette (120 mins cause fuck it we dont care about fidelity), and you need to record it on the terrible heads from an FM source.

Now we're talking vibe. Nothing says bass music like terrible clipping!

Ultimately, some releases only come out on cassettes, and I want to listen to them. That's why I made this thread!
