(INTRODUCING) Classic Magnetics
Reviewing music in the digital age is a lot of fun, as you can find new music with just one click, leading down infinite spirals of sound discovery. Today, I thought it would be cool to introduce a different approach. As my cassette tape collection has steadily grown (exponentially over the past year) i have come to find their is nothing quite like the warmth of noise on magnetic tape.
My idea is to dedicate each Friday to reviewing and discussing certain tapes from the collection. I really want bring to light the art and time put into making cassettes and the music that inspires it all. I will try to lead you to the outlets to procure the music in hard-copy, if you so choose. However, i should state, that many of these tapes are no longer in print and finding them may prove to be quite difficult. But always remember that you should support the music in any way you can, even if it's just with your words, continue to spread the love!Â
All that being said, welcome to Classic Magnetics and i hope you find some things you will enjoy!
The first installation comes in from the fresh Everydayisamixtape crew. Just got a wonderful package in from these guys and i just love their spirit and presentation. Their first official release is the cassingle for SUNRAM's "Eaglekiller b/w Pyramid Chute". An excellent psych-jammer that's rock in it's center but drone-y in spirit. Sludged out and slimey but equally uplifting and spacey. Plenty of room to wander around and get lost in but the right of amount of positive energy to keep you on track. Check out both tracks, and order here (3 copies left!)

The cassettes come on Black C10's with a full-color foldout j-card insert. Amazing collage work done by the incredibly talented MATH.I, which suits the music perfectly. Extremely high quality sound and construction from this very promising label, can't wait to hear more!Â
