    Black vinyl edition of the Tape Excavation compilation LP limited to 200 numbered copies for sale. This 14-song limited edition vinyl LP was created to accompany the deluxe edition of the Savage Impressions book published by P22 in February 2020. Tape Excavation was compiled by Bruce Licher in early 2019 after scouring through dozens of boxes of cassette tapes from rehearsals, demos, and other recordings to find previously unheard nuggets from his various musical endeavors. Dating from his first recordings for Independent Project Records in 1980 to a rehearsal demo of his current musical endeavor SR2, a collaboration with his wife Karen Nielsen Licher, this compilation contains 14 intriguing windows into the ongoing evolution of Licher’s sound and musical vision.


    The Track listing on the limited edition vinyl LP is:


    Side 1:
    1. PROJECT 197 - The Out Sound (unreleased studio out-take, 1980)
    2. BRIDGE - Bridge (UCLA parking garage reel-to-reel 4-track recording, 1981)

    8. BRUCE LICHER - Cedar (Scenic demo circa 1997)
    9. BRUCE LICHER - Tundra (Scenic demo circa 1997)

about

SR2 - The Great Escape (rehearsal demo, 2019)

For the past several years Bruce and Karen Licher have been collaborating on a musical project they have named SR2. Both Lichers play uniquely-strung electric 12-string guitars using a Solfeggio tuning, and have written a number of instrumental songs to date. Starting in late 2018 the Lichers began to work with drummer / percussionist Mary Tannheimer, and the trio have performed as SR2 several times in their current home town of Bishop, California. As this LP was coming together Licher wanted to have something current to share, so this recording was captured at a rehearsal in the Independent Project Press shop on Willow Street in downtown Bishop, California.
