From a beautiful choral take on a Fluxus classic, to euphoric German anti-folk, Daryl Worthington finds there’s all kinds of escape through tape this January
Macie Stewart & Lia Kohl by Maren Celest
It might seem out of place to start the new year by looking back, but this is a tape column after all, so we’re hardly worshipping the idols of progress here. And the UK based Disciples label’s ongoing dive into the 1980’s home recordings of
His Name Is Alive’s Warren Defever shows messing with the archive sometimes points the way ahead.

CD Reviews
Christopher Culver (3 out of 5 stars) Drawing on the immense and varied talent signed to his record label 4AD, Ivo Watts-Russell created the collaborative project This Mortal Coil, specializing mainly in covers of Russell s favorite songs. A first album called It ll End in Tears appeared in 1984. FILIGREE & SHADOW was the second effort and came out in 1986.
The line-up has changed somewhat on this release. Elizabeth Frazer and Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins don t appear, but their bassist Simon Raymonde came on board and contributed a great deal. Similarly Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance didn t participate, but their drummer Peter Ulrich contributed percussion to some tracks here. The sisters Deidre and Rutkowski, and Breathless singer Dominic Appleton provide here most of the vocals. Two members of Dif Juz contribute a certain ambience.
