Root (1989)

First cassette album of works by RK Faulhaber. Produced in two very limited runs of hand-copied cassettes. 

The initial run of tapes was copied from a master tape that was mixed down to stereo from the original 4-track tape between Jan-'89 and April 3, '89. It bore the following titles ---

Side A - - - 
1. ARP Introduction 
2. Furnace
3. Human Flight
4. Assembly
5. Yellow Rain
6. Cardiac Nightmare

Side B - - - 
7. Night Radio
8. Manufacture
9. Disconnection
10. Hypnosis

A subsequent run cassettes had a j-card with no titles but with the following notes:

    "This tape consists of sounds recorded between the dates of:
        May 1, 1988 and April 3, 1989"

    "For further information concerning this tape, contact its creator."
    "These recordings may be released at a later date in a different format."

A second master tape, dated July 17, 1991, exists with the following titles ---

Side A - - - 
1. ARP Intro
2. Furnace
3. Human Flight
4. Yellow Rain
5. Cardiac Nightmare
6. Hypnosis #1

Side B - - - 
7. Night Radio
8. Manufacture
9. Disconnection
10. Hypnosis #2

A single CDr of Root was made in 1999 with the following titles ---

Root1. ARP Intro
2. Furnace
3. Human Flight
4. Assembly
5. Yellow Rain
6. Hypnosis #1
7. Cardiac Nightmare
8. Night Radio
9. Manufacture
10. Disconnection
11. Hypnosis #2

At this time, it is not known which version of the master is contained on either the un-titled cassettes or the CDr as there is no way to compare them (no reliably working cassette player is available).

A single CDr of Root was made by M. Waldron (date unknown) with a color-enhanced version of the original line drawing artwork. The track titles matches those of the earlier master tape.

More investigation is necessary.
