    This is a great album I used to listen to a lot on tape.
    It is a collection of great folk-style ambient tunes, combining lo-fi 80's electro with some crazy acoustic sound. I love each track for its uniqueness. It was a tape I could always count on to get me really away from any bounding reservations when it came to making music of my own.
