two Passage cassettes from 1995

21 Jan

Great ambient pop from Minneapolis, related to Judgement of Paris and Shapeshifter. All of these tracks eventually ended up on the Wellspring CD, issued in 1998. You can buy Wellspring for cheap on amazon. Thanks to Christian Erickson for granting me permission to put these up for you to hear.

three different Shapeshifter cassettes 1993-1995

28 Aug

Ahhh, Shapeshifter. The name conjures up many a freewheeling evening, of which Chris Strouth put it best into words with the liner notes inside the “Redeyed” compilation CD of ’90s Minnesota Shoegaze hits (you can find that one for sale on this site- happy hunting!). These guys all became great friends during that period right before my marriage & quickly-subsequent fatherhood; it all seems a few lifetimes ago. But what

great times, and what great music! I’ve always loved Terry’s drumming- such a great feel, and such a sweet guy. Shapeshifter were a personal favorite, and one Christine & I will always remember fondly. Thanks to Tim Ritter for giving me the go-ahead to post there here for you.
