*All tapes recorded to analog tape. Cassettes available for purchase are loaded with Type II high bias tape.

**All Gift Tapes releases will be recorded to tape. We believe that the analog recording process preserves the integrity and soul of the sound. This method provides specific limitations to the creator which promote a more hand-crafted music, simplifying the relationship between human and machine. We aim not to create commodities, but to enliven a folk mentality... where art is circulated as gift.
