Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 201 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary. This episode is based on the track “The Poison Garden” by Electric Pentacle. Available on the amazing upcoming compilation album “The Silent Harvest Volume One”. Dropping June 25 on the amazing FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS. Which features amongst others HDRF, Field Lines Cartographer, Twilight Sequence, Hawksmoor, Pulselovers and many more legends of the scene. If you make music and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on. Please, if you can, subscribe — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference. So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. No breaks, just the music.
