@ NGH: I've got it cranked it up super high. Forgot to warn you that much of this BCO tape is very lo-fi -- has no high end ...

Given his physical appearance and the sleeves of his LPs, this Michael Garrison has more than something of an american Jean Michel Jarre.
Avatar 12:10pm
Tony Coulter:

To NGH's point: Everyone raise your volume settings as high as possible during this BCO tape. I've already got it way into the red.
Avatar 12:13pm

@ Yvang: You're right on the money! Garrison *is* an American Jean Michel Jarre ... with a bit of Berlin School electronics thrown in too.

By the way, he was from Portland and there will be a track from him on my marathon premium this year. I'm doing a comp of Portland stuff from the '80s.

It's a little like hearing it underwater, and a little like hearing it from outside the closed car wherein it's playing. Not complaining. Just finding the articulation of assessment....like with wine.

Do you happen to have the new Unsustainable Social Condition cassette? The 2016 CD, Dispersant, unlike this BCO cassette, is among the loudest recordings I've heard. I'm enjoying this lo-fi, though.

Talking about cats liking or disliking music (as Holland Oats just was), your cats will definitely *not* like the first track on side B of this tape. It features sustained angry cat yowling. Make sure your cats are well out of earshot before that track starts -- it freaked my neighbor's cat out completely (she just happened to pop in for a visit as I was playing that particular track).

Meow mix was the name of a lesbian club on Houston Street and Clinton when I first moved to NYC. I went to go see JD Sampson (Le Tigre) dj there once, and at first they didn't want to let me in, but my lesbian friends vouched for me and I was emphatic, that I was just there for the music, so, I got in.

Many of the acts on this tape have one or more full-length releases, on cassette and/or vinyl. Doll Parts (on now) released a very fine LP, plus one possibly even finer cassette.

There are labels on this OTE tape, but they have no text on them, just graphic imagery. Perhaps I should have included the cassette in the playlist pic. Decided not to because I'm only playing part of the tape.

This was sort of the golden age of OTE. Lots of participation from other Negativland members and Don hadn't yet given up on phone in "receptacle" programming yet (due to the poor fidelity of digital and then cellular phone technology).
