about

In March 1990 i was starting to write a lot more songs. I was 19 years old, done with high school, playing casually with my band THE FOREST, and still living at home.

I had this JVC "ghetto blaster" that had a mixing mic input which let you sing along with a tape. I would stay up all night sitting cross legged on my bed quietly recording little songs. I learned to play the tape back and overdub stuff through the mixing mic, recording the mix into a 2nd cassette deck. It started to get a neat thick sound after doing this over 5 or 6 times. This was my first real experiments with layering overdubs and i was digging it. I liked the hissiness of it all too at the time, and started adding radio tuner static and tv white noise playing in the background while recording, giving it all a distant mysterious sound.

I collected these 11 songs together, drew a little photocopied cover, and made this tape to give to a few friends. It was never sold anywhere so i doubt anyone really remembers this stuff exists besides me. I came across the master tape recently and enjoyed hearing it again. Its like finding an old diary from a much younger me and i thought maybe some of you would be interested in hearing it too.

Thanks friends, love Rick.

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
