The Music Tapes
The 1st Imaginary Symphony For Nomads LP
Merge Records (MRG-158)

The most whimsical extension of the Elephant Six collective (Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Apples In Stereo, etc.), the Music Tapes take the concept of lo-fi to an arty extreme, using vintage recording equipment and found sounds to create brittle psych-pop. An 1895 Edison wax cylinder recorder, a wire recorder from the '40s, and reel-to-reel and cassette tapes give the Music Tapes' first album First Imaginary Symphony for Nomad a heavily distressed and textured sound that becomes poignant on songs like "Aliens," which boasts an arrangement that includes guitar, theremin, French horn, tambourine, and several layers of evocative fuzz. The Elephant Six Orchestra is also used well on "What the Single Made the Needle Sing" and "The Clapping Hands."

We have started having a bad problem with deadbeat bidders. I report all non-paying bidders to eBay and leave negative feedback.

If you have less than 5 feedback or multiple negative feedback please email me before bidding (that shows you at least read this). If you don't your bid will be rejected.

No offense to the dependable and responsible eBayers out there, and I'm sorry for having to sound so hardcore, but I'm tired of deadbeat bidders wasting my time & money.

Good luck, and happy bidding!!
