great record!

Yeah, such an excellent song. I haven't bought anything on MW, because those releases are always so expensive.

@somaticae
Excellent release. Minimal synthpop at its best!
Or judge for yourself and listen to the samples here:

@Klart
Go and try to find the original vinyls and come here again to say that Minimal Wave is so expensive.

Vol. 2 is going to be even better.. This track is also going to be on the second compilation:

About Minimal Wave, they're a bit expensive indeed, but as they release outstanding stuff, it's pretty much worth it. Though I can't afford to buy every single release.  It's indeed a matter of priorities. Some times I use 25 euros to buy a lot of interesting stuff for cheap prices i.e 1 to 5 euro, but some stuff can't be bought for that kind of prices.

Well i think it's a bit expensive too.. for that price you can at least aspect some good mastered stuff on vinyl, unfortunately it isn't always this way, like the Video Boys lp.. this record sounds like it has been pressed straight from cassette to vinyl.

On the other hand, i think it's great what she does, bringing some old cassette stuff back alive and spread it with the world.

I agree some of the Minimal Waves-record may sound better for that kind of money. Not sure though what the possibilities have been. Are there masters anyhow and how do they sound etc.? I think this lofi-sound was mostly was the best thing possible then and inherent to the often used lowbudget recordings. But it's also like there's mostly very little (minimal ;-) equipment used so little could go wrong... To me that lofi-sound has a charm to it.
There are ofcourse also examples of minimal synthpopbands with reissues that sound great. I imagine they just made better recordings back then.
