Overview

DATH+ NO3- --- 2007-06-00

First release on Time As A Color; a compilation tape of emo and post-hardcore bands from throughout Europe. Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies with totally DIY packaging, all designed or handmade by band members themselves. The cassette comes packaged in a thick cardstock sleeve made from repurposed cereal or pizza boxes with an hourglass design linoleum-printed on in black. This sleeve is then wrapped in a butcher paper envelope with linoleum-printed cover art, hand-stamped band names and label contact, and a small sticker with numbering out of 300 in pen. Cassettes come in two colors, red or white. A-side of the cassette has the release title screen-printed on in ink matching the color of the tape. This release page is for the white version. Packed with the cassette are various photocopied and folded paper inserts: A track listing, a note of appreciation to the bands from Daniel (who runs Time As A Color), a double-sided note explaining the imagery behind the release theme (DATH+ NO3- is an explosive compound) in both English and German, a slip of paper printed with the phrase "Republic Of Absurditas" in Greek lettering, and a thick stapled booklet with a photocopied page from each band. The cover of the band booklet is made of colored paper and stamped with random letters as well as either the name of the recipient (for those who ordered the tape directly from Daniel) or the word "YOU" (for other copies). Each booklet is therefore unique. Band pages in the booklet mostly contain artwork and contact info; some pages have lyrics, credits, or recording info. Mr. Willis Of Ohio recorded at the band's rehearsal room in October of 2006. Daïtro recorded live at San Feliu de Guixols' Fest on the 16th of August, 2006.
