about

Finally, after its first appearance about 40 years ago, here is Mystery Tape X3.
current version: v2.1
This is our 5th Mystery X Tape rerelease, with much more to come in future.

Available in your choice of aural flavors: subliminally, blasted, excerpted, repeatpeateatedly, these cinemaphonically-concocted aggregates of trés different but exquisitely manifest, unprecedentedly varied festerings of audio quality fine magnetic cassette tapes digitally mastercloned to kiss the hiss are the best of whatever you've been listening for…

This is your opportunity to obtain music without the risk of being offended by the composer's taste in pants. We think the more mysterious the more interesting & therefore we have gone all the way with these releases which are half an hour each of flabbergastronomy.
