This week's show is devoted to the music of Anode, who were from Seattle and were associated with the Palace of Lights label. Active from the mid-'70s to the early '80s, they mostly only "released" privately circulated cassettes, two of which we'll hear today. Anode's lineup included: Robert Carlberg (synths, tapes, percussion), James Keller (piano, guitar), Dave Keller (bass & percussion), and Chas. D. Bronson III (drums).

Yeah I'm behind a big industrial firewall that is locked down to the "T". Too many people were streaming Pandora! :)

Interesting (and more than a little weird) to see track titles of stuff I did more than 30 years ago. "Small Events and Delicate Silences" is a phrase I picked out of Anais Nin's writings, whom I loved at the time. Ever read "Under A Glass Bell"?

How in the world did you get a copy of "Kinetic Experiments"? I think only about 5 copies were ever made....

The cassette player I have in my setup is actually an old Sony Walkman, which is simple and easy to cue, etc, but I'd like a conventional deck now, more fully integrated into my setup.
