Tapes, aka Jackson Bailey, returns to EM Records for the firsttime since 2015' s 'No Broken Hearts On This Factory Floor' , in a live collaboration with his pal from Osaka, 7FO, another of EM' s favourite artists. This CD features new arrangements of some Tapes digital reggae classics like 'Ticker Tape', 'C20'and 'Freak Riddim', and new tunes including a dubbed-outversion of the 'Tetris' theme and 'Summer Jam', ajazz-fusionoid weirdo. The smoke is thick on these 14 ferricsoul soothers and digital brain bombs, with drum machines andsynths lovingly warped by tape echo and spring reverb,melding with 7FO' s fine guitar playing, often heavily effected, all working together to deliver the goods: digi-reggae, dub, ambient smoke, and hints of a new age. Ranked by Resident Advisor as one of the top performances at the 2019 Meakusma Festival, this is one you'll enjoy, no matter what reality you choose to inhabit.
