 Cause And Effect is pleased to bring to you this compilation of heretofore unknown electronic groups from the midwest U.S.A.

Artists included are Grey Area, Practic, Sphere Of Influence, A Drowning Man, Deca-Dense, Innerface, Machine Language, Col5lage, Element and Light On Surface. Excellent production and sound quality.

   Anatomy Of Coincidence: A Compilation was listed in the January 1985 and May 1985 Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution catalogs.
It is presented here strictly for archival, educational, historical, and non-commercial purposes. All rights belong to the artists.

These audio files are straight transcriptions from an original copy of the cassette as it was published in 1984. No attempt has been made to enhance or "improve" the sound quality.

Pictured above is a cover of an original copy of Anatomy Of Coincidence. The cover has discolored/yellowed due to age.

The audio files are transcriptions of the entire side of the cassette, not divided into tracks. This was done for two reasons:
    1) to give the listener an opportunity to hear the sides of the tape as continuous listening experiences just as someone might have heard them if they bought the tape from Cause And Effect in 1985
    2) to highlight and emphasize the non-commercial nature of this archival presentation

The main purposes here are to preserve artifacts and documents of Cassette Culture Era history, and to honor the artists and labels who produced them.

This is the first entry of a project that I have recently commenced to thoroughly document the cassettes that were distributed and produced by Cause And Effect. I expect this project to take several years to complete.
