Music is easily consumed these days with its quick creation via musical software and easy accessibility via the internet, so I think the appeal of something like The Minimal Wave Tapes: Vol. 1 is that it's handmade, very DIY, and brings the listener back to a time when music was more personal. Most of these artists recorded on 4-track tape recorders because they had no choice, yet they created beautiful, sophisticated music. The compilation is somewhat like a label sampler, most of the tracks were pulled from full length albums I had put together and already released so licensing wasn't difficult. But it's interesting: Some of these artists actually contacted me because of my radio show, they've googled themselves; completely surprised to find that I'm playing their old records and tapes.
