Excessive use of tape stoppages here break the ambience a fair bit. Track 1, by far the longest, is symptomatic of this, as an otherwise very nice piano-led tape piece is ruin by constant interruptions in the sound that take you out of it and make you think something is wrong with your audio system, especially when the background hiss stops too. Seems a bit gimmicky, and breaks the track for me. 3 makes this work a lot better and is very nice with lots of distortion onto the piano tape. But it suffers from excessive stoppages too. 2 is just forgettable, and 4 isn't much better. I might come back to 3 but that's it. 2.7
