Album and Program Review

As a sampler this tape is all about contrast and impact Narration cues strong dynamic swings and carefully chosen selections were designed to spotlight tone transient snap and room ambience These early demo reels were meant to make listeners stop and realize what tape could do even on mid century systems The appeal lies in the directness and immediacy of the presentation and the unmistakable vintage tape sound
