Tape Circle, by Richard Quirk

Tape Circle

by Richard Quirk

supported by

neuroportal Tape Circle inhabits the areas that seperate out wistful, meloncholic, nostalgic and meditative. Never quite bringing me to any of those emotions, but leading me past, within touching distance.

If you understand what I mean, this album is for you. If you don't get my comment then you should listen to Tape Circle in its entirerity with your eyes shut, undisturbed. You will understand then.
