Olympus S912 Microcassette recorder

Amazing, the pinnacle of
technology...microcassettes!
The Olympus S912 is a very small portable recorder that uses
microcassettes.
Microcassettes are probably one of the coolest and cutest things in the
world, Model 500 sings about it in of his best songs, "Future" :
techno revolution
and vast technology
enter our computer
robotic factories
brand new interface
brand new high gears
change is all around us
The future is here...
Pocket calculators and TV sets
Remote control and Micro Cassettes
(x2)
Futuuure
etc.etc.etc. If you don't know it check it out on youtube
here
(That is also pretty 100% sure a Sequential
Pro-One in the baseline)
The S912 is sometimes used to make 'field recordings' or maybe it would
be more suited for clandestine
recordings...I dunno...like spies do...top secret stuff...maybe
one day I can make an album of secretely recorded conversations in all
kinds of public transports, just like Scanner did back in the days with
mobile phones.
You can hear it on the Smackos - Pacific Northwest Sasquatch Research
album, were I made field recordings (together with the slightly bigger
Sony Cassettecorder) in the forests of the pacific northwest.
Also, the Franz Falckenhaus album "Secret Microcassettes" was released
on a microcassette.
