What a disaster, and it was on our end. We got two of them, and then things went awry for us... here we are, almost one year later.<br /><br />This tape was kindly put together by Carl Hultgren, of Stormy Records and the fabulous Windy &amp; Carl. It's some gospel-Jesus-disco-dance anthems that were knockin' around at Stormy. Some very interesting music to get saved to, that is for sure.<br /><br />First pressing of 100 on green tapes, with laser printed inserts.

I found her work on MySpace, and couldn't wait to get a full-length release out.<br /><br />Ashley's sound is collected from radio sources, sometimes sounding like a distant children's program, and other tracks, such as "The Devil's Basement," take the SSR sound to a much harsher place. A great balance between being listenable and challening.<br /><br />This tape came to me in late 2008, and we made it the first NO SOUND release of 2009. The first batch had hand-painted teal shells, and color-laser printed inserts. They were numbered with a self-advancing stamp, and there were 50.<br /><br />The art was made when we first moved to the NO SOUND/Haunted Sound System house, in April, using analog processes up until the final photos were taken with a digital camera. The tape was released shortly thereafter, but with limited distribution until later in the year. <br /><br /><br />There will be a NO SOUND reissue of this album on CD-R in the near future.<br /><br />Free download coming soon in high-quality mp3.<br /><br /><br />Links:<br /><ul><li> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sollidstateradio">http://www.myspace.com/sollidstateradio</a></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/908023380872626913-2465153679906385651?l=nosoundtapes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908023380872626913.post-18266694158015736082009-11-28T10:34:00.001-08:002009-11-28T10:34:36.401-08:00<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/26/cocteau-twins-elizabeth-fraser-interview">http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/26/cocteau-twins-elizabeth-fraser-interview</a><br /><br />Haven't read this, yet, but very interesting looking.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/908023380872626913-1826669415801573608?l=nosoundtapes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicknoreply@blogger.com0
