A little "cryptwave" for your Saturday! Another really cool, totally random YouTube find.
Each Autumn in the late 80s and early 90s saw the abundance of Halloween cassette tapes available in every retail store. These tapes would include sound effects, music, spoken word, or a combination of two or three of these elements, often with cheap packaging and illustrations. They were meant to add atmosphere to Halloween parties and in-home haunted houses, and could often be heard playing on boomboxes while trick-or-treating. As cassette tape became an irrelevant format, these soundtracks made a brief transition to compact disc before disappearing entirely in the age of digital streaming music.
As a defender of the old and the irrelevant, and as a conjurer of nostalgia and tradition, Netherworld Nate has brought this concept back from the dead and created the first such soundtrack since the days of yore - Bloodcurdling Sounds, a homage to old Halloween scare tapes! Created entirely on synthesizers and sounding as if it was recorded in a moldering coffin, this is Cimitir at it's most atmospheric!
Those 2 paragraphs describe me to a T. Enjoy!
