review...
Acclaimed compilation of original specially commissioned
material covering the unique range of music from the 80s experimental
underground. Originally issued as a 2 cassette set (A: melodic synth and
cosmic music, B: experimental synths and electronics, C: rock and new-wave
underground, D: avant-garde and industrial).
Originally planned as a numbered
edition of 500 copies, only 200 or so were actually issued as such. Some were
also sold as single cassettes in regular cases (approx. 20 of each). Excess
covers/stickers have been used for various versions of this and the
"Escape From The cage" series, as detailed below.
The cover art was by the late Peter
Harrison, and the inspiration for the title too, which was a deliberate
misquote of “I am a cage, in search of a bird” by Franz Kafka, and a
dedication to the paintings "The Therapist" 1937 by Rene Magritte
and "Bird Cage" by Slavador Dali.
Tracks 9 & 10 feature on the Aussenminister / Model 81
anthology 2CD set
stickers/printed
artwork re-used for the following...
