I was struck by this one almost immediately, something about these movements completely sucked me in. Four sparse and instrumental dark wave pieces with a guitar that spends most of it's time lurking in the shadows, but lurches into the forefront with sporadic and spasmodic outbursts. The cassette came with no song titles (there's been a lot of that lately), so I emailed to try to get a little more information...which I didn't get. What I did get was a different version of Track 01, with added samples - mesmerizing.
It's amazing how powerful such simple recordings can be; clearly the inspiration, execution and presentation are far more important than a huge recording budget, often more important than great riffs, and more meaningful than a whole truckload of hype. The first three tracks here are Side 01 of the tape, and the 12 minute dirge on the flipside will make you feel like you are on drugs. Also included is the aforementioned remix of Track 01, thanks to Soren for that song and for the additional cover scans.
