Minimal Wave Records

Digging thru a box of ancient tapes that have been in storage for about 14 years I came across 3 cassette comps from the Scotish label “Pleasantly Surprised”.

I have the double cassette “The Angels Are Coming”, “Dreams and Desires” and “Document”.  I *think* these came from an old girlfriend but I can’t quite remember.

Seems there’s a web site documenting the label here:

Interesting. Nice site too, judging by a swift glance…

Could you post the tracklisting for these tapes? Please?  :wink:
