audiofile tape scans
By Don Campau | 24 September 2011
- audiofile tapes was a label run by Carl Howard, at that time in Bayside , New York and then in Jersey City, NJ. Carl released a lot of space rock, fractured noise, sound collage and electronic music among other things. His tape covers were consistently among the finest and cleanest designs. His own project was called Nomuzic and you will see numerous covers of that below in addition to the wide international variety he offered. To the right, one of my favorite tapes of this genre, “Red Shift 4” by Dave Prescott released in 1987.
