Many
times, I enjoy listening to cassettes as downloads when they are available and
then decide based upon what I hear whether I want to actually go through with
getting the cassette itself or not. This
has, thus far, ended with me adding a number of different cassettes to my list
of tapes I want to buy, which isn’t at all a bad thing to me because it at
least shows that there is good music out there still and quite a bit of it at
that.
Olli
Aarni threw a curveball my way, as I was listening to this and enjoying it, but
then found myself unable to purchase it as a cassette because before I could it
sold out. This is just one of those sad
facets of life that happens sometimes- we miss the tapes and they sell out- but
it doesn’t sting any less. In many ways,
it does feel much like the opposite of that feeling of when you buy one of the
last (or the very last) tapes and avoid this entire situation.
Each
side on this tape is just under ten minutes.
It’s angelic type of music that sounds like glass but in the way that
synth makes that sound more than there being actual glass used as an instrument
I presume. It’s ambient and it goes in
and out in waves. This truly is
everything that I love about music and especially music on tapes; I just am
upset that I missed the physical release.
I
definitely suggest you pay the 4 EUR and get the digital download of this to
suffice for the lack of tape, but maybe- just maybe- if there is enough
interest and public outcry there will be a second pressing.
