1981 - LOST HITS MIXTAPE (Re-Recorded FLAC EX)

Hello and Welcome Back... WAIT, Haven't You Posted These Albums Before?..

Yes but back when i first did them , i used a remastering technique where as i use a CDRW as a Automatic Volume Control... While it kinda worked, it seemed to suck the life out of the music...

So i stumbled across the Tape Masters over Christmas and have Re-Mastered using a 24bit WAV/FLAC EXpanded Frequency Technique that really brings the albums back to life...

I have also added tracks that never made it onto the previous albums as the CDRW only had limited room, so now we have some bonus tracks...

Back To The Music

1981, What a Year.. Right?

Actually, I was 11, and the only good thing in my life was my cat Tikka (pic below) and my next door neighbors, who's pool i would frequently escape to, climbing out my bedroom window much to the disgust of my little sister

My Cat Tikka (RIP)

I was in Year 5 Primary and life was shit...

Bullied by asshole's (funnily enough, who now want to be Facebook friends with me... go figure), nasty teachers that didn't get that, i couldn't sit still for 2 hours in some crappy assembly, off to the office again... sadly it was a vicious cycle.

The one thing that had saving grace, was my dads love for music... Some of the music was really good and for Christmas, I got a gift of music. (Thanks Dad)

A few years earlier, i got a for Christmas, a Shoebox tape recorder and two tapes, one tape was the best of 'The Animals' (think House of Rising Sun).
The second tape changed my life. It was a synthesizer tape called 'The Electronic System' by a bloke called 'Dan Lacksman' who in the 80s, became the man behind the outfit 'Telex' (think Moskow Diskow & Twist a Saint Tropez)

The Electronic System opened my eyes to Synthesizers and was a main inspiration to create this website..

That's right folks, amongst the tears, regular beatings, wanting to escape from life...this website is built on a simple cassette tape that started around 1978 & continued into the 80s..

My escape listening to that electronic tape took away all the crap..for a little while..

Moving On

Like I said, my Dad had a pretty good taste in music and while he was at work, (he was a train driver) I created this Mixtape from an old tape he didn't need (well he didn't notice it missing)
