There are a ton of tapes that circulated in the early 1990s, all recorded at and pointing to a location known mysteriously (to those not in Braintree anyway) as the Barn.
This is one of our favorites, from Detroit Techno godfather Derrick May recorded – is my math right?! twenty-seven years ago?! – on August 24, 1989.
