Your first link, to the release "Urð, Verðandi & Skuld", says "Written and produced by Livar Særheim" --- that's vlari on xlt |

holy fuckpeanuts well that just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside |
||||||||
|

warm and fuzzy is exactly what I felt too =) (also holy fuckpeanuts.) I have loved his mixes for years and this is the first time I've seen music purely by him. Going through the tracks now, I hear the same love of (especially old school) electro. These are great; thanks for the discovery, Junktion! |

thanks! awfully bad timing, but I'm glad it's out. Jivver said track 5 reminded him of Depeche Mode, and I sure can live with that |

Vlari really delivered the goods on this one; lovely work. He is so not an amateur. This is pro quality stuff. |

Welcome to the team, Vlari ;-) Amazingly tasty nugget of a release as well (as expected of course) |

Nice vibe, Well put together for self release. Better if the high hats actually fully broke down. Gets a bit much ticking all the way through the big acid tracks. |

This is great. Atmospheric and original sounding whilst keeping a stranglehold on Classic Electronic - outstannding work. This is will also be the third VLR related cassette in my tape collection. |

haha, I think it's time to switch format. jaser: I tend to get overexcited with the top-to-middle end, and it's something I aim to improve on |

What the fuck is it with tapes? Cheaper to distribute? Need this on vinyl!! Fucking SICK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

far cheaper than getting a record cut, pressed and distributed. it's a nice gimmick, but i bet 99% will listen to it in digital and stick the tape in a shoebox, shelf or other storage unit |

you're on the spot there - the label i work for just got a new aggregator (international shipper/distributor), and they also say that the "vinyl-bubble" has bursted, suggesting us not to press anymore vinyl until sales of that specific record we want to press has shown that it can hold itself up for a 6 months period. People who buy "new" vinyl these days, are scattered all over the world, and the costs of pressing and shipping quite simply go higher than anybody wants to pay for. When it comes to psychical nostalgia, the tapes get more love nowadays - a younger audience and less high-end gear-requirement. I personally find FLAC+psychical media/gimmick much more interesting than any stuck-with-the-format release. That's also why I got so angry about Thom Yorke's new album, that is released in MP3 or Vinyl with FLAC - so you're actually forced to buy vinyl to get FLAC - which kinda underlines that the labels has to do something drastic to cut their losses on taking the chance with vinyl. Vinyl dies on you when your house is flooded because of natural disasters - digital doesn't. |

My VLR tapes have all been played on a vintage Boom Box, though they do generally live on the shelf along with my other surviving cassettes from over the (many) years. The Secret Admirer and the CPU mix just do sound good on a consumptive, filthy old "CD Radio Cassette Recorder", they both are loyal to, and enhanced by the tape aesthetic (cassaethetic, if we're gong to be insufferable). I'd like a decent tape deck though, before these get chewed up in the greasy workings. Some albums I've had on tape since the 80s and I always think of the definitive format of that particular album being the cassette version. In the same way, I think of these VLarZ tapes as being the originals, and the digital being a recording (or document, if you will) of that format. |

really a hot collection of tracks very nice stuff, it makes me all warm and fuzzy |

I don't think the vinyl bubble has burst. I do agree though that it is cost prohibitive on all angles, from pressing to distributing. I enjoy a physical release and I actually use them - I'm one of the rare audiophiles with a 200lb turntable, but I realize I'm also a small niche market. Regarding the flooding comment, well, same could happen with a stack of hard drives, right? There is no cloud service out there than can hold my digital collection, it's just too massive. I have fault tolerance but no off-site storage. To me, tapes just seem like a gimmick. At least on a proper system, vinyl can sound amazing. I guess the same can be said for cassettes but no one is making a proper cassette player anymore, it's all a refurb job. |

well in europe vinyl has it a lot harder i believe my cd's can still be ripped after a flooding, and sites like Bandcamp allow me to redownload - digital just works for me i guess |

Just got the "Vane Funk" bonus track - it's bloomin' marvellous! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

received my tapes (got one for some friends also). track 3 might be my favorite but they're all killer. cassette is the Most Convenient Analog Format. i like everything that holds music, but this release fits like a glove! |

I bet you don't have the Nord(k)ick Madness mix! |

I'd love to own this on vinyl too! Love these tracks! Did order the cassette though, I probably gonna play it once and listen to the digital version after that..cassettes are fun but useless after all, they indeed end up in a shoebox |
