Unfortunately, the fi of today's first tape (John Livengood) is pretty lo, though it does get better on some tracks.

Heya, Carmichael, V Priceless and Doug!

It is pleasantly strange to be (seemingly) immune to schedule changes.

Carmichael:

From Prog Archives: "Best known for his involvement in the legendary band Spacecraft, john livengood released a few curiosities in solo. His work is mainly devoted to synthesizer's experimentations. his first solo effort published during the early 80's is a strange and original combination between hypnotic-efficiently repetitive pop melodies and unusual programmed electronic arrangements. Livengood has also collaborated with the guitarist Richard Pinhas (Heldon) for the album Cyborg Sally (1994). "

Thanks, Carmichael!

Apologies again for the lo fi-ness. It does get better further on in the tape.

Rich in Washington:

it sounds fine to me. It's got some of the inherent mixing choices one now fondly remembers from the 4-track cassette machine era; things hard-panned to either left or right, etc..
Avatar 12:12pm
Tony Coulter:

The Livengood cassette, of course, is the one on the left in the pic above the playlist.

Heya Rich! Yeah, the panning on this track is a bit extreme!

I'm having football for Thanksgiving. And ale.

@ βrian: Hmm. Octopus and cranberry sauce ... I don't know about that.
Avatar 12:39pm

Hiya, DCE! Glad you made it.
Avatar 12:40pm

Oh no? Think of a cranberry chutney, with the octopus marinated in fresh orange juice, garlic, and rosemary. For example ...

I'd eat a rubber tire if it was smothered in garlic.

As long as everyone else eats it. I don't want to be the only one reeking.

I *like* the smell of garlic. I'd wear a garlic cologne, if they made one.

In case any eyeballs are just tuning in, the focus of today's Tape Hiss is progressive electronic/new age cassettes.

What do they call it, the stinking rose?

Garlic? Garlic by any other name would stink as sweet.

It's a good stink, not a vertiginous-retching-horror kind of stink.

One garlic-related trick I learned in high school: Garlic extract rubbed into your armpits will induce a temporary fever. It's a great way to get out of school early.

A unique review of MacFarlane's music from the Mutant Sounds blogspot: "Wonderful and endearingly rinky dink Dr. Who-ish one-man space rock/electronic oddity and part of an unacknowledged (and rather late arriving) late 70's/early 80's Aussie cosmic rock scene that also included Rainbow Generator/Krozier & The Generator, Quasar and (ahem) Cybotron."

Sounds like a review of the 1980 LP "Back from Beyond"?

He made a major cross-country move, which I imagine kept him pretty occupied for a bit.

Could be, Tony. It was just thrown into MacFarlane's description.

New Age, the genre that is the final frontier for crate diggers.

when 90s 70s revisionism becomes a crate digging fad we'll know we've had it

But I thought newage was a particular kind of effluent.

One amazing thing about Daevid Allen is the continuity of his output. This thing is from 1966, but would fit in with recordings of his from any period.
