Joe Riehle simultaneously unleashed these two 60-minute cassette albums as companion pieces, themed around the duality of the self and the other, compiled from songs recorded over a couple years between his other many bands and recording projects. Joe has a gift with words and a unique brand of lo-fi noise-pop all his own, and these two hours are packed with great stuff. Unfortunately for the original release, wear and tear on Joe’s tape deck had resulted in considerably more degradation of sound quality during mixdown and copying than usual, and that’s saying something. Thus these albums benefited perhaps more than any other from my digital mixdown/restoration project, and what is revealed is that this is some really good stuff.
