Hidden Tapes

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram vinyl; limited to 999 numbered copies! Hidden Tapes: A Compilation of Minimal Wave from Around the World '79-'85 features rare, unreleased, and licensed tracks from as far as Japan and the former Yugoslavia. Most of the bands on this compilation recorded on 4-track tape in their bedroom studios while two of them went further to collaborate by sending tapes through the mail. The sounds on this record range from raw proto-industrial to naive danceable Belgradian new wave, to filmic synthesizer music to more complex, vocal-driven melodic synthpop. The Hidden Tapes presents songs from Danton's Voice, Oskarova Fobija, The Fast Set, Sympathy Nervous, Pas D Deux, Unovidual + Tara Cross, Ss-Say, Robert Lawrence + Mark Phillips, Kym Amps and Reserve, all lovingly remastered.
