      Splendid compilation. Expensive retail price but worth it, for once. Better than the Minimal Wave Tapes vol. 1 & 2 imho.

        The last track "Microphone Connection" comes from me, I have it on tape and made a copy for Veronica Estela Vasicka. I received the original recording from Henk Wallays who worked together with Tara Cross. It comes from the orginal demo tape where Tara Cross comments every base track before sending it to Henk Wallays.
