This is the first release from Moral, a female fronted, minimal synth three piece featuring primarily 606 &amp; DR55 driven drum tracks, angular guitar, and sparse melodic synth alongside melodic female vocals. Their second cassette, the excellent <em>Whispering Sons<\/em>, can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/433rpm.blogspot.com\/2012\/07\/moral-whispering-sons-tape-kubus.html\">No Longer Forgotten Music<\/a> blog.

They also made an appearance on the amazing <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Various-Somewhere-Outside-Etellerandetstedudenfor\/release\/1182293\">Somewhere Outside<\/a><\/em> compilation (and speaking of which, you can expect a post from N\u00e6ste Uges TV to come in the very near future).<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;ve yet to see this tape posted in full, so this should be the final piece of the Moral puzzle. It was released in 1981 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/109753-Kubus-Kassettes\">Kubus Kassettes<\/a>, an industrial and experimental cassette label run by Rob Smit. Moral, despite walking a fine line between hauntingly beautiful synth\/guitar-based songs and ambient sound structures, were likely one of the &#8220;catchier&#8221; bands on the label.
