Re: [LAU] OT, but IMO really interesting living history: They still produce cassette tapes in Germany

Thank you!!

I've forwarded the information to quite a few friends. Here in sweden,
audio cassette is having a revival since a couple of years back. What
used to be netlabels are now cassette labels producing limited edition
tapes... go figure.

I really like it thou: these FFWD>> an <<REW constraint is a pain that
sort of forces a listener into taking in an albums narrative thread,
which i have been missing in the quickskipping digital era we live :)

And with a a little bit of inventiveness for the cover art, one can sell
these tapes for very decent prices.

Have a good week,

Set
