This
was originally to be part of my review series based upon whether or not you
should buy the cassette after hearing the download of it, but I liked what I
heard from the download so much that I just went ahead and got this as a
cassette because it is so limited. While it is set as a Name Your Price Download,
it is also as a cassette in an edition of 10, which goes for an even $5 but as
of my typing this there only remain two copies and by the time this is posted
they will probably be gone.
The
songs on this cassette are long drone with some synth coming through; though by
the second side it does also bring out hints of FNL. As it evolves from start to finish, you do
feel as if something is happening and that might just be a car being turned
into a spaceship.
On
some levels, aside from the space aspect of it, I’m also really reminded of the
movie I watched recently about building your own time travel machine called “Safety
Not Guaranteed”. Though much of the soundtrack
to that movie currently escapes me, I just kept thinking of scenes from that
movie during the listening process of this cassette.
Perhaps
the greatest reason to listen to this on cassette as opposed to any other
format is simply because whilst creating this spaceship out of your car, all I
can imagine is a car being used that has a tape deck in it. I’m not certain why, but I’m not under the
impression that the car itself is even new enough to have a CD player in it,
and so I just imagine popping this into your car stereo and blasting off into
space.
