Electronic Computer Christmas Music cassette tape. Ooh, 12 total tunes of

hi-tech contemporary music! At least, as it was defined in 1990 when this

presumably came out. I say "presumably" because this is a thing that I'm not

entirely sure I have a lot of concrete details on, but that's one reason that I

wanted to pick it up as soon as I saw it at a thrift store not too long ago. It

was just standing out amongst all the other cassette tapes that are just

normally strewn about on the shelf. I mean, that artwork, the title, and just the

fact that when I looked it up on Discogs.com it said it was by "unknown artist." So,

yeah I really genuinely don't know who composed the music that is contained on

this tape. I do however know that it has some fantastic artwork on the front.

I mean, look at that delightful dude hanging around with this audio-visual

switchboard, presumably enjoying some Christmas music and visuals from his

desk inside Tron or wherever he's located. I don't know and I don't care because it's

great! It does actually list some information a few places on the

packaging, like right here where it says it's made in 1990 by Silver Bells Music in

Nashville, Tennessee. Just checking around anywhere I could and it seems that they

released all sorts of random stuff on tapes and CDs from 1985 to around

1991-92: music that's mixed with bird sound effects, compilations, and then

there's themed tapes like this one here. The Electronic Computer Christmas Music

set. I mean just looking at the tape there's nothing special about it. No, it's

not chrome or anything like that it's probably just a plain old ferric thing.

No Dolby noise reduction, nothing like that, it's just a cheap tape. So I'm

assuming it was just mass produced and sold anywhere they could. Or maybe it

wasn't really mass produced and it was just kind of tossed out there. I don't

know, maybe this is rare, I can't really tell. Although amusingly, like, the

day after I got this at Goodwill I was looking around on YouTube to see if

anybody else had posted anything about it, and there was like, somebody had just

uploaded it within 24 hours. It was really strange timing. Either way though

I hope that you enjoy this cassette tape version of Electronic Christmas Music by

the famous artist, Unknown. Enjoy!

Well that is it for Electronic Computer Christmas Music! At least for the amount

of stuff that I want to put in this particular video. I wasn't gonna play the

entire thing because honestly these were just the highlights. A lot of it isn't

that good. Its good stuff is pretty darn good,

in that enjoyably cheesy nostalgic way, but then there's the rest of it which just

feels like a guy got hold of a Roland synthesizer and just started banging out

some things, pressing every single button on there to get as many voices in as

possible. Just like "Wow, listen to how many things my synthesizer can

recreate!" *chuckles* It's a hit and miss tape that's for sure. But if you want to

listen to the rest of the tracks I don't blame you. I'll leave links in the video

description there. And of course more traditional, more expected types of LGR

episodes are in the works, as always. This was just a little bit of a filler to get

you and me in a bit of a Christmasy electronic computer mood. And if it did

why not check out some of my other videos! I don't really do a lot of stuff

like this, but it's pretty much always related to old tech and computers and

things like that, so stick around if you'd like. I sure would

appreciate it, and as always thank you very much for watching!
