Our Take
Our Take
In a world of digital streaming and sleek, futuristic music delivery, the VARIOUS ARTISTS compilation "Oz Echoes: DIY Cassettes and Archives 1980-1989" takes us back to a simpler time. A time when music was recorded on cassettes, DIY culture reigned supreme, and the Australian music scene was bursting with creativity.
This collection is a treasure trove of lo-fi gems that capture the raw, unfiltered spirit of the underground music scene in Australia during the 1980s. From jangly indie pop to experimental electronic sounds, "Oz Echoes" showcases the diverse range of talent that was brewing down under.
Each track is a snapshot of a different DIY musician or band, giving listeners a glimpse into the grassroots music scene of the era. The lo-fi production values only add to the charm of these recordings, transporting you back to a time when music was made for the love of it, not for commercial gain.
Standout tracks include the infectious synth-pop of The Mixolydians' "Hybrid Volition" and the dreamy shoegaze of The Liquid Agents' "Rain in Summer." These songs may be rough around the edges, but they are filled with a raw energy and passion that is impossible to ignore.
Overall, "Oz Echoes" is a delightful trip down memory lane, celebrating the DIY spirit of the Australian music scene in all its quirky glory. So dust off your Walkman, pop in a cassette, and let these obscure gems transport you to a time when music was made with nothing but a tape deck and a dream.
