Tape Delay - Original Cover Notes

Tape Delay is composed of interviews, exclusive writing, illustrations and photographs that reflect the intiatives of those who have deviated from the mainstream of sound, word and image since the mid-Seventies.

The continued dominance of an entertainment-based industry and culture determines that such work appears as 'specialist," whatever its content - any experimentation is easily marginalised. TAPE DELAY provides the first comprehensive focus on undercurrents and interventions that continue to exert a strong influence in spit of this, highlighting past actions and future possibilities.
