I'm enjoying this series so much. I'm finding all kinds of awesome music out of these tapes. I'm going to clip the best in mp3s, and then maybe throw them in this site's "vault" for people to download when all twelve tapes are done. There's so much good stuff, and tape 5 was a gold mine of great music. There was an awesome instrumental track by Cocteau Twins off their Treasures album. I'm trying to only pick out a song from an artist that is not as well known (at least by me) to feature, as we know Cocteau Twins is going to be good. But I highly advise people who do like them, to take a listen to side one, about 26:46 minutes in. It's awesome.
There's also a great track by the band SPK on side two which was great, but over all I narrowed my choice down to two. It was so hard for me to pick one over the other, so I decided to break the rules and do the two of them.
The first song just took me to a nice place. The track was so dreamy to me. It was just a demonstration of a music program called Ample for the Acorn 500. The track was by, and I maybe spelling their names wrong as they are not listed on the tape listing, but their names sound like Andrews McCurnon...McCurnin? Then Chris Jorden.
The song is Starflight 500.
The next pick has that wonderful minimal wave 80s sound I absolutely love. It was a reader submission by a group/artist named Fayshall Arts with the song The Clown.
Each day I'm looking more and more towards listening to the next tape. There's such good stuff on all of these.
