A series of cassette releases produced by the British label Touch between 1982 and 1989. This 1983 release is one of the earliest entries in the series, a “cassette magazine” that included audio tracks by artists aligned with the label, accompanied by 30 postcards. Featuring a rich lineup that includes nightmarish electronic tracks by the virtual girl duo Deux Filles, Virginia Astley’s fluid electronic music interwoven with bird calls, electronic new age by John Foxx, and minimal wave by The Nocturnal Emissions. It is an outstanding work that demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, extending right down to the specially designed plastic outer sleeve featuring insect-themed artwork. Beautuful condition.

1982年から1989年にかけて英Touchが展開していた一連のカセット作品。本作はその最初期である、30枚のポストカードに添えてレーベルに共鳴するアーティストの音源が収められカセットマガジンシリーズのひとつに数えられる83年作。仮想乙女デュオDeux Fillesによる悪夢を見てるような電子曲、Virginia Astleyによる鳥の鳴き声を挿入した流麗なエレクトロニクスはじめ、その他にも電子音楽家John Foxxによる電子ニューエイジやThe Nocturnal Emissionsによるミニマル・ウェーヴなど濃い~内容。虫のアートワークで組み合わされるデザインされたプラスティックの外袋まで細部までこだわりが見れる秀逸な作品です。超美品。
