John J. Lafia ‎– "Prayers" (Trance Port Tapes ‎– trance 4) 1984






 
John J. Lafia ? Dunno who this guy was/is, but this cassette is one of the best primitive futurist minimal electronic records I have heard.
Full of fuzzy space, disembodied passionless voices, warm rounded analogue electronics, sparse beats, from the days before MIDI connectivity turned everyone into a electronic orchestra.
This is the sound of alienated isolation, in a world where humanity is in danger of becoming terminally redundant. Far more relevant to the modern world than it was in 1983.This is an age where we carry our brains everywhere we go and call them smart phones,the first stage of human evolution into Cyborgs.......and what’s wrong with that ?.....put answers on a postcard and send them to Mr Tony Blair, New World Order HQ, Jerusalem, Palestine.

Tracklist:

A1 Life Is Short
A2 Dream
A3 Fear
A4 Ritual
A5 Sinking
B1 A Promise
B2 Spaghetti Western
B3 Flying
B4 Hidden Things
B5 Escape

all the stuff that came out of Trance Port is great. If it wasn't for the internet and you I would surely never have known about this almost perfect record
