technosomy Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Well i thought these were dead and buried.. but now players seem to be popping up and this legendary release (i still have a original third generation somewhere) http://www.discogs.com/Metallica-No-Life-Til-Leather/release/6925118 and this http://www.discogs.com/Possessed-Tape-Collection/release/6765230 and this (saw these guys on sunday.. the most brutal intense live show i have ever seen...amazing!) http://www.discogs.com/Napalm-Death-Apex-Predator-Easy-Meat/release/6563340 all these metal.. but am sure if i looked hard enough could find others first saw references in gaurdians of the galaxy.. people seem to be selling mix tapes is it all part of the retro comeback around?? your thoughts Quote
Starkraver Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Oh yes! Here in INDIA, along with vinyls, cassette tapes are a hit. May be due to peer pressure on Hifi forums? Or may be just nostalgia? Not sure, but they are pretty much there. 1 Quote
Blair Thaumic Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 They're popular in IDM too, for some reason. Maybe I should make our first release cassette/digital? Quote
Starkraver Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 i want them back..NOW He he he, I've some M.J and Madonna's cassettes from my dad's collection in the meantime If you want them that bad Quote

draeke Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Wicked stuff, I could not really imagine the media I found to be the crappiest in the 90s is coming back. I guess it's the damn hipsters who brought them back, with all that retro stuff they are into from the 80s ... jokes aside is fun to see I guess. But as I owned and still own a lot of tapes from the 90s I guess I won't really go back to that medium so there won't be DATTAPE001, no need to invest in that ghetto blaster you always wanted to buy, yet. 1 Quote

Starkraver Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Saw a Nakamichi Dragon cassette player at a friend's place! Looks beautiful, sounds amazing. Quote
Cynos Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Cassetes are common in vaporwave and similar genres too. Quote
Starkraver Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Lot of metal releases in colourful limited edition tapes these days. Lubomyr Melnyk offered to make casette of his continuous piano just for me All these small labels (even big one's) come up with ltd edition casette and vinyl. When they are sold out. Change the colour , put it out as a limited edition again. And that strategy seems to be working. 1 Quote
Veracohr Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 My girlfriend told me she knows a guy who releases casettes of new music, including her band. I think she said he sells most of them in Europe, very few here in the US. But you never know, those darned hipsters just might try to bring them back! 1 Quote
RTP Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I would embrace a comeback ... for me, tapes never were dead ... I still have a lot. that's because my car has a cassette radio Mostly it's metal... But the coolest I have is this: http://www.discogs.com/Shiva-Chandra-Spicy-Moments/release/1782322 Any recent psytrance stuff that came out on tape btw? Quote

(The release even has a review by one of our own, Radi604 on Discogs) Not sure about psytrance, but I've seen a few ambient / neo classical / future jazz and a ton of metal releases on Tapes. Quote
Goa-Head Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 DATTAPE001 Imagine say Mark Ainley did a DJ mix from released tracks on DAT Records, forthcoming material and possible/potential future tracks and even some tracks from his personal collection/draeke's collection, record the mix on a 90 minute tape and 'press' say 50-100 maximum. It would be an awesome idea IMO. I have 2 tape decks, 3 actually because one is a double decker. 4 to be exact, because 2 years ago I bought a 'walkman digitiser' from the local LIDL, I wonder how much he sold, apart mine Quote
psytones Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Any recent psytrance stuff that came out on tape btw? Lest we forget about WHRIKK who releases CASSETTETAPES: http://whrikk.bandcamp.com/album/channel-a + check his discogs: http://www.discogs.com/artist/1128716-Whrikk Quote
