Most of this tape was a set of “ambient” (for lack of a better word) pieces done by James Britt.
Some of them contain material taken from what was likely an LP of African drumming; there's no record of what that might have been.
Tape loops were used.
It's possible that a Casio SK-1 sampling keyboard was used. If so, then these pieces had to have been done around 1985 since that is when the SK-1 was released.
The other, far noisier, pieces, were almost certainly done earlier.
There is no earthly reason they should be on the same cassette, but there it is.
