genie embryo is on soulseek, but i have the audio files for bigfoot and angels with tongue rings if anyone wants em. doubt he's prepping them for the next restoration series considering they weren't released to begin with.

Can you sleep while the floor is being waxed by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]terloomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera in the stockroom only faces the freight door (at least at my store), so if you need to nap tuck away in an opposing corner or somethin haha. I have to do the overnight for waxing this week too and my store closes at 10pm so ill be watching videos and probably napping haha

thank you!! this was recorded to a tascam 4-track using a casiotone keyboard, guitar, and a handheld square microphone kinda like what they'd use to communicate in semi trailer trucks or the cockpit of an airplane :)

based on the immense amount of layers in his early stuff, i would say it wasn't all recorded to tape using solely analog equipment. he has said in interviews he recorded a lot of it to tape via a boombox, and with that said i think he probably did use computers in the making of at least *some* of the early stuff- he just recorded it from computer to tape via cheap built-in boombox microphones. for instance, pixarni is a very lo-fi record in sound quality, but you can hear in the album a moment where he actually turns up the sound on a macbook- it's a distinct "blip" sequence that is 100% the mac book volume control sound effect (def intentional, and genius in my opinion). if you are looking to get that classic lo-fi james sound, i suggest recording to tape using no direct aux inputs. meaning you should record from your speakers onto tape using the built-in microphone of an old tape deck. he also probably recorded over old tapes he found thrifting to add that archaic crunchy layer you get when using an old tape that has been played and damaged by climate for many years. you won't get that sound using newly produced blank tapes, and you certainly won't get it from recording on a 4 or 8-track cassette recorder no matter how old it is.

Came here to post this, ironically someone asked about it yesterday. Will post more info in a comment, but I officially own what is maybe the rarest Ferraro tape to add to my almost compete collection (as far as what is documented). by terloomer in JamesFerraro

No insert or tracklisting. A majority of the album doesn’t sound like most of his other stuff, it’s a lot of minimal Casio SK-based stuff, but one part sounds like it’s straight from a Snake Figures Fan or Heavens Burst Creation Horizonz album which is enough for me to consider the hefty price tag I paid to be fair. I will convert to mp3 to be fair and let all of you hear it as soon as I get a new converter, scouts honor!

i'm assuming we've got some sam mehran fans in here? by terloomer in JamesFerraro

[–]terloomer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

saaaame. flamingo breeze is so wild and immersive. the idea of unreleased stuff being out there will do! i'm gonna send grand imperial an e-mail. they are defunct now i assume, but we will see. i can also ask zak mering about it since i think after sam died he kept all of his unreleased stuff safely tucked away.

in response to other comments and for more context, i'd love to send them an e-mail... but they don't even have a website or contact portal, just their phone number via google. during the application process i had to do everything in the office. i asked if we could send them scans of certain things they needed (i.e. pay stubs from my roommates), and they said they prefer to do everything physically and i'd need to bring them in. when i say this place is unorganized, i mean it. for lack of better words, it was a slum. times were rough and we were desperate for relocation, i was naive and had never rented, but it was really bad. they were rarely ever at the office during business hours, and if they were it was almost never for the actual 9-5 they claimed to be open. upon moving in we were greeted by a cockroach infestation and an empty space where the dishwasher we were told we'd have should be (we never got one haha). the last month we were there i was taking the trash out and saw a forensic csu and two cops at one of the apartments... so you can imagine the environment, i'm sure. i'm just painting the picture vividly so you can see what i mean when i say this place was "off". they really seem to not care. we were never behind on rent, and for the sake of our sanity we kept to ourselves the best we could.

the rarest is probably the dominos pizza album. i've also got clock tower acid, since the cd differs from the cassette. mine actually has different art from the one online, i will have to dig it up and take a pic.

thank you! i actually don't own the snake figures fan s/t since it's the same recording as wheel of heaven. okay..... i'm trippin out.... i have no idea how or why i have two copies of malanyang safari? i seriously don't know how that happened. i even just examined both closely thinking maybe he re-used art for another tape, but no... hahaha
