Well as said I can't really tell due to compression artifacts ;) not to mention acoustics and poor microphone. Most likely a fake but I'm not shutting doors on it being legit.

Two more. First is "Tends Towards," second is "Close 3."

Sounds fake. Sounds way too polished.

Play 5D. That should give us a clue.

For you.
Welcome to any questions. Again, I am NOT saying these are legit. I just bought them.

He said that it was damaged, from being out in the sun, then all of the sudden it sounds that good? A few old tunes sounds more dated and mangled that these clips :lol: and that was released in 1996. I m just saying the style and quality of the music doesn't match the gritty tape sound of their late 80s early 90s tracks.


i am trying to transfer old cassettes to digital right now and on more than one occasion the first few feet of tape ends up like a birds nest in the player - not in the cassette. after extraction and manually rewinding the spool so its properly tight, it plays back better but now a bit gummed up. when the spools shake around and are loosened up you get a lot of garbled playback at first (if you don't do the manual tighten thing with a pencil). just hypothesizing that could be what happened here - after you get beyond that point, the fresh tape tends to play back with less issue.

Fonec sounds fucking incredible. Is this the real deal..? I'm swaying towards 'convinced' right now.

I'll upload all of Closes Vol. 1. But again, I don't know if it's legit, so take it with a grain of salt.
