Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies (this is 85/200) in special case.
Deep in the cassette underground, and barely documented. Con-Hertz paired Conrad Schnitzler with the Berlin sound-worker Wolfgang Hertz, who took Schnitzler's session tapes and remixed, cut, and reassembled them into something new. Contrasts, a double-cassette set issued in 1988 by the Leicester micro-label Auricle, run by the brothers Alan and Steve Freeman of Audion magazine, gathers nearly three hours of this collaboration in an edition of two hundred.
It is the sound of Schnitzler's restless electronics passed through a second pair of hands, and a reminder of how much of this music lived on home-dubbed tape rather than vinyl. For the committed collector. The Auricle issue.
