Though a recent archival release by Minimal Wave Records (currently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minimal-wave.org\/site\/modules.php?name=catalog&amp;file=product_info&amp;cPath=21&amp;products_id=64\">available<\/a> for a meager $8.50!) appeared two years ago, the band had only these releases under their belt, but still had several unrecorded tracks in their repertoire. An unofficial cassette was released by their label, Combinator, in 1983. The bootleg featured several St\u00f6rung staples alongside a series of unreleased tracks, recorded during one of the band&#8217;s live sets. These are the only known versions of some of these tracks, and though the quality is a bit warm due to the nature of the release, it still holds up as an additional piece of the St\u00f6rung puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>Without any further ado, here&#8217;s the information for the release:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/storung-the-art-of-combining-cassette\/storung\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4068\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4068\" src=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/storung-177x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/storung-177x300.png 177w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/storung.png 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 177px) 100vw, 177px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>St\u00f6rung- <i>The Art of Combining<\/i> Cassette<br \/>\n1.
