This tape is one of (if not) the reasons that I kept hold of the tape deck.

Some great cassettes there Mike! I only had a couple of dozen pre-recorded ones from the 80’s (lots of home made compilations though) as only used in the car or Matsui Walkman knock off! They’ve gone astray, suspect I may have tipped them, but I do have at least 4 cassette decks!
Blasts from the past for me, the former bought on vinyl, the follow up I suspect was on CD. Long time since I have listened to both these albums in full. Amazing.

I have dozens of cassettes I recorded to play in the car. They are somewhere in the loft, and my cassette players are no longer part of my system.Quote:

Worth the price of admission for Ian McCulloch’s Electrafixion track, alone.
Nice one. And on the original Harvest label too :) It made it onto this year's Christmas 'wish list' (I make a list of stuff I want for Christmas, as apparently I'm hard work to buy for), then Anita buys them and then gets her money back from the various family members. Because they're too bloody lazy to buy stuff themselves. At least they do bother to wrap them so that's something I suppose.Quote:

Now then, on to this, Joe Jackson at his best.

Been a while. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love a bit of Enya/Clannad.
It’s impossible to be angry at Enya, it just is.
Not "impossible to get angry at Enya" - just bored. :D
'Evening Falls' is so perfect that it makes me want to spontaneously burst into tears.Quote:

Another one of those amazing Albums that I just don’t listen to often enough.
They really were on fire back then. I was also into the Dewaele brothers' 2 Many DJs broadcasts (bought the lot on CD for £silly). Some of their remixes of other peoples' work are excellent too.Quote:

The new Nightmares On Wax album (currently streaming only pending LP release next month). All reggae and presented as if it's a soundsystem broadcast. The numerous shoutouts to 'Echo 45' are a bit intrusive but that aside it ranges from soulful lovers to dubby and is now on my Christmas list.

It's the only Enya album I have, and it's anodyne to the point of being pleasant 'lift music'. Maybe I should investigate some of here earlier output?
Good one!Quote:

Some Ace mixes on this one.
Bentley Rhythm Ace!
I used to have a tape of them. It was just two brummies who were lathe turners - or some similar brummage type job.
So pleased I kept these compilation tapes. I haven’t played many of them for 20 years + and the memories have come flooding back. So many great tunes , and indeed bands, that I had forgotten about. As a bonus, there are some amazing rare and exclusive mixes of songs I know and love. Like a kid in a candy shop here :)Quote:
