Oppenheimer Analysis- New Mexico cassette

I'm pleased to offer up a classic cassette release by one of the most respected minimal wave acts, Oppenheimer Analysis. The band was formed by Andy Oppenheimer (painter, nuclear weapons specialist, vocalist) and Martin Lloyd (also active as Analysis) in the early 1980s, after the two met at the 1979 World Science Fiction Convention in Brighton, sharing a mutual love of Cold War propoganda and early electronic music. They began recording together in 1982, offering up but one official release, which has earned high cult status during the resurgence of minimal wave music in the new millenium. This has inevitably led to the re-pairing of Martin and Andy and the reactiviation of Oppenheimer Analysis.

Since their reactivation, the band has reissued several of their classic recordings, including a self-titled vinyl release on Minimal Wave records, but the duo has also recorded several new tracks, released as the Der Wissenschaftler EP in 2005. They are still active to this day, though each alternately persue several side projects in the interim.

I've uploaded their original 1982 cassette, entitled New Mexico, featuring 12 tracks of minimal wave greatness. The cassette was also reissued on CD-R in 2005, with a bonus track attached, which I've also included for good measure. Here's the proper information on the release:

Due to such high demand, Minimal Wave has repressed the 2005 self-titled EP, so click below to nab a copy before these all disappear as well! Also, please direct your attention to the duo's official site for more information, a more expansive discography, and all sorts of other useful tidbits:
