maybe it's an official cassette release. maybe it's a DIY release and it being on cassette is part of the point. maybe it's a cassette-only advance copy (such as both autechre and interpol have done to cut down on digital piracy). everyone uses what they want or what they have at their disposal. the limitations of some of these formats can actually lead to further avenues of creativity and innovation. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

If you are talking about x-ray machines wiping the tape then, given the postal services current levels of paranoia, aluminium foil will just encourage them to turn up the x-ray machine to see through the aluminium, doing more damage than good I suspect --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
