Tonight it all comes from a cassette.
| Élément Kuuda, aka Christian Richer. I played music from his debut (and I thought only) release La Prairie (2004) in October 2014 and December 2016. This year I discovered he has continued to release music, both on Bandcamp and in physical format on cassette. Subsequent releases have included Flight (2010), Flight 2 (2011), and Polargraph (2012). The music on these cassettes mixes ambient and electro-acoustic nicely. |

| eff. dryland, aka François Landry, aka Balaam Galang, who I have played before on the show with one release, 1997's "We Ran Out to Uranus". Continuing (or I suppose beginning) the planetary theme, the eff. dryland release "noyer neptune" was a cassette-only release from 1990. Typical of most of the music tonight there is a lo-fi and DIY aesthetic at work which fits a lot of the experimental electronic scene from the 80s-90s. |

| Lightwave is a French duo (very early on a trio) who produced a number of experimental and ambient works, known perhaps most for 1990's Nachtmusik. Their earlier material comprises several cassette-only releases in the late 80s. One of these, Ici & Maintenant, is perfect to play tonight, as it's a live recording from 28 May 1998 on the Ici et Maintenant radio program in France, with the frequency 93.1 FM :). On this occasion Christian Whittman and Christoph Harbonnier play all sorts of synthesizers by Moog, ARP, Roland, Oberheim, Korg, and more. They are joined by Bruno Heuzé on Roland JX-3P. |

Led by Doug Walker, on this cassette from 1987 he is joined by Carl Howard on synths and sequencer, and by Marlon Cherry on guitar on side A. Walker plays synths and sequencers, organs, electronic flute, and glissando guitar. |
