Went through more archive tape tonight, about an hour and forty-five minutes worth on one and a half cassettes, and all I can say is that I must have been on something to call that pile of boring, smelly noise music. How dare I!
What I've posted on FA is actually the good stuff, and not indicative of the years-old dross I've heard on average when going through these old recordings.

I can't really blame it on the meager gear I was using at the time: a couple of cheapo department store keyboards (the venerable SK-1 and a Yamaha portasound), a beat Pro-One, some stomp-boxes, a Zoom multi-fx unit, a small DJ mixer and a couple of cassette decks. I can't blame these, these were what I managed to get my mitts on at the time. No, it boils down to me making the sonic equivalent diarrhea, and calling it decent at the time.

This is why I must see this looking back as the means to tell myself that I can do better than this with what I have now, and to make sure such episodes of sonic wankery are very few and far between.

This is what I must take from project tapes of the past, even though they might provide a few diamonds in the rough.
