Where in hell did you find copies of those early cassettes, especially "Tracing..."? To my knowledge, only about 20 were ever made. If you would like, I can send a scan of the CD cover, which was the official release. It would be interesting to read more of a critical response to the work, older or newer. Nice work on the blog, and the completist discography. - Seth
