Instrument, the cassette tape as an instrument in the technique of Tape Loop.

The cassette is a magnetic tape sound recording format that was widely used between the early 1970s and early 1990s and regularly until the early 2000s. Although originally intended as a medium for dictation, improvements in sound fidelity led to the cassette supplanting the open-reel tape recorder in most of its domestic uses. Its applications extended from portable audio home recording to data storage for computers. Between the 1970s and the late 1990s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for pre-recorded music, along with the vinyl records. They were later replaced by the compact disc.

Tape LoopThe sound is recorded onto a section of magnetic tape and this tape is cut and spliced end-to-end, creating a circle or loop that can be played continuously, usually on a reel-to-reel machine.

KLF - CHILL OUT (1990)

Chill out (an informal English term meaning to relax) is a contemporary musical genre that encompasses many disparate strands of musical genres with a common trait: its harmonious, relaxed and very calm composition. The Chill Out is characterized above all by the smooth way in which some genres such as opera are combined or remixed, Techno, ambient musicrock and some other genres related to the use of synthesizers, drum machines and sound effects.

The term originated in an area called "The White Room" at the nightclub Heaven in London in 1989. Its DJs were Jimmy Cauty and Alex Patterson. They created ambient mixes from sources such as Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, etc. The purpose of the room was to allow the dancers the opportunity to "relax" of the fast rhythm played on the main dance floor. The group KLF subsequently released an album called Chill Out (1990) his third album, with uncredited contributions from Patterson.

It was one of the first ambient house concept albums. The music describes a mythical nighttime journey to the US Gulf Coast states beginning in Texas and ending in Louisiana. The album cover and its bucolic picture of white sheep sitting on the green grass of an open barn, with a blue sky as an idyllic backdrop.
