Out this Friday on C150 cassette 'Creation VI - Ears of the Earth' ranks among the longest pre-recorded cassettes ever released - quite possibly the longest! Our searches through Discogs and Google have yet to reveal another cassette of comparable length.

I adore shit like this. You can't convince me that these kinda projects aren't deeply alluring because of their brevity and anonymity.

#DeclanLikes 1381 – Collected Works
My favourite of the three records is Castle, but Feudal does come close with more consistently ominous songs.

#DeclanTalksVapor

A Venn diagram between signalwave and hardcore punk, with the overlapping commonality being: obscure & frequently obscenely short discographies. On signalwave's side are the compilations Collected Works by 1381, and the Pink Album by 鬱. On hardcore punk's side are the compilations End on End by Rites of Spring and Complete Discography by Minor Threat.
