l-t-(f)-r 018: CURSILLISTAS' Maia Maiestas cassette series
The explanation is fully here, but here's the short-form typed version: once a day for the 31 days of May 2008, Cursillistas sat down before a cassette recorder and improvised a 20-minute performance onto a white c-20 cassette tape. These master tapes were then hand-painted by Dawn Marna, and packaged in or with items found throughout the course of that day. These 31 master tapes are now on sale in the most limited of editions - one of one - each hand painted and packaged uniquely to match the unique performance captured on each tape.
The tapes are not going up auction-style, but because there is only one copy available of each tape it's a strict first-come, first-served deal. Limit is one per customer, so if you're interested in more than one tape, please rank them in the order in which you'd like them - in the event your first choice has already sold, you will receive your #2, and so on. The price is $15 US or $18 Worldwide, postage paid. If we're shipping your tape with your Tryst Haunt 7"s the price is $13.
There are images, explanations, and sound samples (1.5 minutes from each side of each tape) online here - just click on the date to open a page with images and streaming audio. Once you know what tape you want, email lanimaux@gmail.com with your ranked list and we'll give you further instructions.

dan ganas de comprárselas todas!

Por la cabeza se me pasó lo de poder tener todas.
He escuchado 10 samplers de las cintas, y todas merecen la pena.

Pero estamos en lo de siempre,
hay artistas que editan tal cantidad de discos que llega un momento que es imposible tener, comprar, almacenar, escuchar,... todo.
Es humanamente imposible.

Posiblemente bastantes cintas de ésta tan peculiar edición que han hecho Cursillistas acabarán en ebay.

Mi copia la guardaré como un pequeño tesoro.

Para principios del 2009, Time-lag reeditará en Lp otro disco, que fué muy limitado, de Cursillistas, "Les Biches".
Compra obligada.
