The
first thing I need to note about this cassette is that every time I tried to
play it straight out I couldn’t hear it, so this had me finally listening to it
strictly through earbuds, but hey, I will never hold that against a release
because sometimes you need the earbuds to drown out everything else. (Full disclosure: I listen to all cassettes
at least once through with earbuds and at least once without, unless it is a
special case such as this)
These
songs are sort of synth pop loops and they abruptly cut off just about every
time. Six songs in total, they have
that new wave/”Pretty in Pink” vibe down,
though they can also be mixed with something more modern such as the
more musical side to The Killers. (Think
of one of their longer numbers without as many vocals and not the radio hits)
The
third song overall, last on Side A, has a striking resemblance to The Beatles “In
My Life” and I’m not certain whether that is coincidental or just my hearing it
as such, but in any case these are fairly short and to the point songs, but
still overall good and something that should be best experienced on cassette
because of the era which they represent.
