various: minimal wave tapes vol 1

back in! Minimal Wave: underground DIY electronic music from North America & Europe in the late 70s-80s. Characterized by 70s synth & drum machine production and home recording, most of these track were privately released on limited-edition cassettes or vinyl and known only to a handful of people over the years. New Yorker Veronica Vasicka has spent the past five years painstakingly building the Minimal Wave catalog, and a label of the same name that specializes in digging up and reissuing the music. Partnering here with Stones Throw, the recordings have been officially licensed, remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by Vasicka and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf." Artists: Linear Movement, Crash Course In Science, Oppenheimer Analysis, Mark Lane, Tara Cross, Turquoise Days, Bene Gesserit, Esplendor Geometrico, Das Ding, Martin Dupont, Deux, Somnambulist, Ohama, Das Kabinette.
