Yep.. What is says on the tin basically.

Various artists working with tape, have created individual 'pieces' to be cut onto this record as a locked groove -meaning it loops forever, or until you lift the needle, at around 133.3rpm.
Each track comes in at 10 seconds and ends in a locked groove - each one is brilliant - honestly, each of these tracks have a special feel to them, sonically - and there is something quite hallucinogenic about 'letting it loop' and finding the rhythm within the abstraction.
Sounds take on new meanings within a few (endless) seconds, and we are led into hollow drones, hums, reverberations, squelches, wonked rhythms, scratches, zaps, detuned synthesis, all frequencies are explored basically.
Tape Projects is a fully intriguing listening record for all tape loop / locked groove / experimental sound art enthusiasts, and also a very powerful 'DJ tool' if you ask us.
According to the label owner you should play with three of these records at once. We did try it with two decks and can confirm that this is already hours of fun and truly inspiring too, musically.

This one originally came out in 2008, and we got some last copies here sent over to us all the way from OZ - with no copies for sale on 'scogs, and most definitely no new copies in any other shops on this side of the globe, it's probably safe to call this a rare find at this point.

This is the record you never knew you needed.... But now you know...
*if you can take our word for it, even without clips... Follow your inner intrigue.
