V/A-THE CASSETTE MYTHOS AUDIO ALCHEMY CD/K7, CD, 1991, VARIOUS





This compendium provides an intriguing window into one particular subset (a rather American intensive one) of the underground cassette network of the 80's/90's, with a particularly wide ranging remit that takes in everything from John Wiggens' electroacoustic experiments to Daniel Johnston's damaged folk to Yximalloo's cartoonish Resedential-isms to Sue Ann Harkey's very Woo-like work with the Kitchen Table Ennsemble, to Costes' foaming at the mouth dada antagonisms.

    I got a lot of corrupted files in my copies. Part one was entirely corrupt, in fact-- couldn't even begin unzipping it.

    Mutant Sounds never ceases to amaze me. The only artist on here that I've heard of is Daniel Johnston. The rest are all new discoveries for me. Thanks for bringing the real deal as always.

    Best, Kevin

    davex-Thanks for letting me know. I've re-upped alternate links. I'm guessing the issue was due to a forward slash accidentally being left in on the jpeg titles.
