Sound Of Pig Music

From mid-eighties to mid-nineties, there were three major cassette labels of post-industrial and experimental musics in the US : Audiofile Tapes, Harsh Reality Music and Sound Of Pig Music. During that period, Al Margolis released more than 300 cassettes of underground music and was considered "the cassette godfather", as stated on Hal McGee's Electronic Cottage #1 cover (although the two other mentioned labels have released the same - Harsh Reality Music - or nearly the same - Audiofile Tapes - amount of tapes). You can read an interview of Al Margolis about Sound Of Pig Music here.

During the last months, I've been collecting MP3s of Sound Of Pig Music cassettes, and I'm gonna share some of them.
