Various Artists ~ Collapsing Tape
While listening to the 90-minute Collapsing Tape, one is reminded of just how delightfully weird Bristol’s Collapsing Drums label is. The tape ~ a C90, just like an old-fashioned, ecletric mixtape – is the label’s 5th anniversary release, and is

Will Glaser ~ Music of the Terrazoku: Ethnographic Recordings From An Imagined Future
Here’s a concept album this really works, packaged in a neat little box set housing two tapes and showcasing incredible art from Djoïna Amrani. We’re not sure just how strong the box is, but we wonder if it might survive
