Yes, my latest album, An Artifact Of Progress is now out on cassette only. In a purely regressive move I've decided to stick to magnetic tape for this one. You can get a copy for just £6.00 including P&P anywhere in the world.

To get a copy either message me or go to my blog and head for the Stuff For Sale page where you can contact me directly about it. It seems that I'm unable to insert Paypal buttons on either this site, my blog or Myspace these days - in fact, Myspace won't even let me link to the Digital Vomit blog now as it identifies it as a security risk…

Anyway, for your cash, you'll get 26 tracks and just over 85 minutes of music (did I mention it was a C-90?) The cassettes are chrome and have been dubbed in real-time from CD for better sound quality - I feel really old just typing that sentence…

This release is also the first on my own label, Startled Okapi! Recordings, (because as we all know, the world needs more vanity labels - if only for winding trolls up with) which will be concentrating on putting out physical stuff at irregular intervals, mostly my own stuff at first, but there may be a possibilty of some V/A compilations at some point.

Quantities of this are limited - limited mainly by how many blank tapes I have left (no more than 40 though)

I do like the retro appeal of cassette tapes, and I'd totally dig a copy of your album, only problem being that I haven't owned a tape deck in years… Perhaps you could do a limited edition tape release that came locked into its own second-hand walkman? :)

I have a cassette Walkman gathering dust in my closet that I'd send you for the postage.

This is going to be a common theme, I think. Hardly anybody has a cassette deck any more so how are they going to play it?

Maybe I should've just published it as sheet music - and then I suppose everybody would say they didn't have a piano any more either :)

Actually, I just thought I'd do something that wasn't a download or a CDr - and as I picked up some new blank tapes (yes, you can still buy them) I thought it would be interesting.

Hehehe, I have a Denon cassette deck connected to my computer just for digitizing cassettes - actually my computer is now the "brain" of my stereo system, you might as well say; I patch it into my receiver and everything. Anyway, I only paid $10 for it, neener neener. Best of all, it has served time in the DJ booth of a gay bar!

Remember Christopher Jion? He put out a f**king microcassette. I had to buy a machine special just to play it. It was worth it, though.
