Tape's history
This tape was born thanks to Bisso's punk attitude and his huge love for vintage stuff. Tapes are so damn cool and people of the underground music scene still listen to them. Some tracks covered for this release came to the light back in the '80s, like the raw piece by かまいたち (kamaitachi) called LAST CHANCE, available only on one of their demotapes and never rerecorded again, or the harsh speed metal song called Warning for You, recorded back in 1985 by the legendary great band Mein Kampf that you can find on their only release (the rare and awesome "so much wanted" 7 inches record called Speeder).
As you already know, 白いノイズ don't follow a proper genre, so this tape offers a great variety of sounds and styles, from punk to pop, from metal to 8 bit, and so on. Most of the tracks of this tape has never been covered before!
Bisso put a lot of effort in the extra stuff of this release, and this stuff is relevant because it consists in insert sheets, stickers and a poster. Bisso loves this kind of things, so he thinks that it's beautiful to have a lot of cool material coming along with the audio support.
Band's members like to do weird things and to have fun, you will clearly notice it in this tape. Moreover, Bisso and Aster love to put (and say/play) citations everywhere. They also love unknown music stuff, so that's why most of those covers are obscure to almost everyone ah ah. Anyway, the aim of all this work is also to let people know about rare and not-well-known music.
