Chapter: It Landed
Blurb:
1998: An unlisted mixtape made by a soon-to-be-dead friend leads to a search for a record that takes place over the last twenty years via bands, record label contacts and blind luck.
Spoiler: Ends with a grown man crying at a parcel from France on a pavement.
THEN Searching for music in a pre-internet world was an absolute pleasure. But was it?
NOW Screening every bit of available music on the world wide web is as giving as it is taking.
A man lost in a swirling fog of his own making tries to find a way out via releasing his own records, building up contacts for his band but it all the while trying to search out this mystery sound.
And then, it landed.
