Once again, the content is incredibly entertaining and fascinating, brimming with the artist’s signature persuasiveness. Enveloped in a raw, gritty edge and a bizarre, otherworldly sci-fi sense of the future, this cassette tape mix features the unique, imperfect sound and audio quality that only a cassette can offer—making for a truly alluring tape release.
Compiled from rare records and tracks from private collections, this release exquisitely blends Soviet-style modernity, local traditions unique to the region, and the cheap synthesizer sounds that were emerging at the time, evoking a sense of nostalgia while painting a vision of the future unique to Central Asia. From Uzbek disco and Tajik synth-pop to little-known, psychedelic oddities, the album is packed with tracks you can only hear here. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
