This blog is mostly dormant. I still review occasional cassettes and zines. Why The Tapes Play Records was a cottage industry indie music label releasing very limited run cassettes, & cds. The label is on hiatus as of 2020, as much of our lives has been on hold and focused on matters of heart, survival, and spiritual nurturance. Why The Tapes Play may return in the future.

Brockbeats - Easy Listening
It is no secret that ye olde DJ Frederick tremendously enjoys library and production music. Combing though new releases, this cassette caught my ear on Bandcamp & less than two weeks later was in my mailbox here in NH all the way from Japan. Easy Listening conjures aural visions of daze gone by: 1960's AM radio, black & white television, wordless choral groups, smoky late night jazz. It is one part easy listening, one part hip-hop beats, one part soundtrack for a forgotten, grainy film. Completely music to my ears - this is not nostalgia, this is music distilled through the decades to this present moment.
