Another Damned Indie Cassette

I am finding all kinds of 'treasures' here. After bailing on the planned single of "The S&L Song" b/w "How Stupid Are we?" (see earlier posts below) sometime later in the early 1990s I had the idea to self-produce a cassette entitled Another Damned Indie Cassette. On it was "The S&L Song", the song I'll post next, these three pieces and a ridiculously indulgent & today un-listenable 15 minute long piece of crap that was to constitute the entire B-side. Fear not, that bit of tripe will not be posted here. (Are you sensing some kind of trend going on? Damn those B-sides...)

Unfortunately precise details of these three are sketchy (and pardon the stupid names, they were originally numbered pieces). Worse, until I find the original masters, not only is the audio quality a bit off as these are from the original Another Damned Indie Cassette master, I'm not even sure of the dates I wrote & recorded them. As a final insult, "Field Of Swoops" cuts off early so I had to fade out the digital recording. As I find the original masters (if they still exist) I'll post improved versions of these.

"Field Of Swoops" is the oldest song here. I can tell by the drum sounds, that's the TR-707 w/the flam technique. It probably dates from 1989 or thereabouts. The others sound like 1990 or 1991 but "Break Song" has that 'sound real but keep it a little impossible' style of composition so it may be a little bit more recent. As these are all 100% MIDI, they were most likely mastered directly to 2-track cassette but I also might have used the old 4-track instead.
