When guitars get rude...Special People's Plant is a grungey & grimey listen. Reminds me of what I thought "Seattle" sounded like before I actually heard bands from that particular part of the world. Special People are not from the Northwest (Baltimore, MD in this case), but DAMMIT I kinda wish they were...no, I don't...This cassette is hitting me at the right time. I want to hear fuzz boxes again. Tracks like "Fade into Mind," "Crucial Decision," and the six-minute closer "Truth Decay" have hints of the psychedelic amidst all the punk energy. Really a damn fine guitar band album. Cool. Grab one of these limited tapes before they become extinct!

It should be obvious, this is a webzine we created to put cassette releases and the format of cassette itself on a pedestal. We are not doing this to be some sort of cassette snob, more-DIY-than-thou elitists or anything. We are doing it because all the formats that sound can be presented on are exciting and provide unique ways of shaping the listeners experience... so it is a shame that any one of these formats would fall by the wayside. Cassettes provide a listening experience that is similar to vinyl because of the intermission/moment of pause created by changing sides of the tape, but can be of almost any length between 30 seconds a side to an hour. Tapes can also be listened to in a car or while jogging.
While today this format helps keep the home label alive, its almost a dream to remember that once every musician from Michael Jackson to REM had their releases on cassette. Cassettes were a legitimate format, not just for the DIY underground. Maybe we (thats you too) are the last guardians of this format. Maybe someone, someday will popularize cassettes again. In the meantime we keep the reels turning. A little offering because at least there are a few of you that know there is more than one god of this land.
