Mystery Morse Code track on an early Frank Sidebottom audio cassette compilation. Retrieved from Chris Sievey's archive by

While digitising an audio cassette that was mainly Frank Sidebottom keyboard backing tracks - great for the documentary soundtrack, but not what was written on the cassette box, of course! - I came across a track on Side B that's just a message in Morse Code.

Could it be a secret message from Chris Sievey? Is it something vital the world needs to know? Is it a 30 year old total waste of time?

Negative Gemini - You Only Hate the Ones You Love

This track was released today as a bonus track on the cassette edition of 100% Electronica released by Plastic Response Records. 
It was originally set to be the opening track to the 100% Electronica album and had a full set of lyrics that I decided at the last minute I didn't like.
You may recognize it as the source material for the opening track on ESPRIT 空想's virtua.zip album, "whispers.wav"

The cassette was just released today (Feb 17 2016) as an edition of 200, and already there are less than 50 copies left.
