Generic Greeting Collective's Misunderstood Mixtape

"This is a mix entirely composed of sounds taken from cassette tapes that me and my friend found in bins. I wanted to see how understanding of music is effected by listening to music that is presented with no context. A lot of people's methods of musical discovery and music journalism often favours narrative and context above the actual content. I thought it would be interesting to turn this on its head. A lot of the tapes were blank and had no indicators as to who made them, for what purpose they were made, or what kind of music they contained."

Forever misunderstood in remix. By Richard James for NOUS magazine; found by Lulu Heal and Richard James of Generic Greeting Collective.
