While digging through drawers full of old junk one day at my dad’s house, I found some cassette tapes filled with silly home recordings. One tape in particular contained recordings of my sister and I as young children; reading nursery rhymes, telling jokes, inventing bizarre radio stations and other ridiculous shows, plus a wide variety of other incredibly random sound bytes and noises. In other words, I had stumbled upon a sample goldmine!
“1985 EP” is a collection of strange, brooding, electronic rhythms that were inspired by the quirky, nostalgic sounds I sampled from that childhood cassette tape.

No comments? What the…!? ‘mnot a nostalgic person per se, but when it comes to recorded audio nostalgia – I’m a suckaaaaaaaa; and this is grrrrrreat!!! Really fine sit and listen material, which is what I did. Tastefully done, sir. It’s all very good – highlights for me are ‘laughter’ (dig the tape deck stop sample, and the contagious laugh at the front, dig it all really) funky track! ‘ghost’ is a gem; and ‘fireman’ (thanks for supplying the lyrics)
I appreciate you making this available. Be well & Peace – Kenny
Cheers, Kenny, I’m glad you enjoyed the EP, I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I think I’ll have to revist this stuff at some point in the future; there’s a lot of material that I didn’t use and it’s really fun to play around with!
This is great EP! Congratulations!! I liked it from the first to the last song :) I expect from you more and more music!!!
Feeeeedback! I love it. And overall gerat EP! Nice wee little thingie for my unknowns collection.
This is very good stuff, I’m impressed, and I like it a lot. Send it to Ai and get it out on vinyl.
Great musical use of this material! I liked most Laughter and Window. — That tape must have seemd almost like finding a cheap bottle of juice evolved into a fine wine after XX years in the basement ;-)
brilliant. thx a lot!
Sooo rad. Im showing it to all my friends.
Haunting and atmospheric. I really dig this, it’s kinda like Amon Tobin putting out an album on a few weeks’ allowance. Thanks for hosting this up for all of us!
Hey great stuff…warped…
Wow, awesome music! Laughter is pretty scarry :)
great stuff.. wow this was posted in 2005! Really like the dark ambient synth ur using, reminds me of some oldschool jungle or some dark electro by hacker
Loving it!
Cheers :)
After losing all my music several times in failed backups, this is my fourth time downloading the album. Can’t stop coming back for it, you have created a jewel :)
Wish you the best from Costa Rica! :D
Thanks! :)
