“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words. We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records. On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music. Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata. Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
“Evening all. Episode one-five-zero of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Nothing Them Myth. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious. I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Enofa, Mint Deluxe, and my own piece Isolated Elastic Ripples. Andrew Spackman, Akira Film Script on whitelabrecs, and Talkdemonic are in the mix. Later on, Harald Grosskopf, Polypores, and Please Close Your Eyes bring their worlds of ambient, kosmische, and experimental electronics. Labels orbiting here include Third Kind Records, Kahvi Collective, Ingrown, Imaginary North, and Projekt. On the B side: amble, Toxic Chicken, Rob Dobson, Sun Rain, and Moray Newlands. Genres drift from drone and ambient to leftfield folk textures and cosmic synth explorations. The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
