mankpit still digesting this tape and 2 blood oranges and 1 banana, also pairs well with Sun Ra Space Probe

dr.kr making industrial music a threat again! perfectly suited to the medium (cassette, you ignorant fool!) it's like when coil dropped love's secret domain on an unsuspecting world. if you remember where you were on that day, then this tape will transport you in spacetime to the fountain of youth. be sure you say, "hi" to geff/jhonn and peter/sleazy when you get there. teenage lightning strikes twice Favorite track: Etwas Kaltes.

about

Caustic squelch, thudding trudge and trippy squish collide in a double-EP of de-minimalized techno plagued by ghosts of early Industrial and Cold Wave.

Vintage analog synthesis, electrifried English horn and DAW-mangling comprise this distinctly alte Schule solo indulgence. Bear in mind that Bruckmann, for all his principle current notoriety as an oboist in contemporary classical and free improv circles, is the precise coeval of the fictional teenage protagonists in a certain wildly-popular, 80s-centric streaming TV series. While he is less prone to wearing eyeshadow these days, he’s been playing the synthesizers all along, and a little corner of his charred heart never quite left the batcave.

Tape arrived with lightning speed and came with a bunch of cool stickers! Thank you so much! I am becoming very fond of these (at first glance) simple loops with wonderfully overapplied effects. Tron Tron
