But yeah there's a lot of labels I like that focus on cassettes, Haord and No Rent Records are really excellent.

Yeah, I meant more of when it was a viable format in the 80s; artists that release cassette omly stuff today irk me (although i just came in possession of this badass mini boombox from the early 90s that had never been used).

Im planning on getting a few that would only be availavle through cassette. I forget that eccojams is a cassette only one, good call. Ill have to check out the others.

Gently Gently by The Great Balloon Race

These guys went with cassette because they couldn't afford to print vinyl. Actually sounds great on cassette, the low fidelity fits the mood of their music.

Whenever I run into a cassette only album, they always seem to be pretty good. They're generally out of some deep dark recess of noise music, but I've also found several new age albums that are cassette only.

Here's one that is pretty good.

How do you feel about the cassette tape as a format are there any cassette albums that y'all enjoy?
