Another free release, this time with the sample tracks from the artists who have been released or distributed by Stauropygial Records. With ZLOJ POP, ANKYLYM, STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS, HAKELSTORM, SPUNDT, TEA MAN WITH TEA GUM, R!D!V!, KHLEB I VOLYA, NOODLE SOUP MADE EASY, VYBRO ELVIS. This release is no longer distributed but in fact I can make you a copy or use it as a bonus with some other order. Trade is possible for other free releases or blank tapes.

This tape is free as in beer. (Needless to say though, as in freedom too, however it may be applied to all the other releases as well.) A pun exists here in Russian, where the word free means costless only in some specific occasions (not with tapes), while costless sounds generally rather humiliating or condescending, unlike English free (probably because in the Russian-speaking world the word costless is associated mainly with a stupid proverb about costless cheese existing only in a mousetrap).

More than 100 copies have been sent out for free (postage costs being also included, although not many had made use of it). Instead of a cover, stickers were attached directly to the cassette box. Some variants exist: so, my copy has Virpelis printed instead of Viršelis.

SpunDt (a project by Ankylym's singer) has not been released as promised, as well as the demo of Hakelstorm (this one I still plan to publish in the Rarities/Unreleased/B-Sides series). Bread And Freedom is a side project of Evil Pop members, changing instruments. Two improvisational albums had been recorded, but the track included here is definitely the best one. The compilation of songs about frogs has been also abandoned (now I have suddenly thought of a possibility to publish it electronically — the contacts with most of the participants are already lost, some of them, I think, do not write songs about frogs anymore, and releasing on a physical media and sending authors' copies has no much sense). At the same time, R!D!V! (another project of Ankylym's singer) has been released as a split with Alisa-Yhtye. Noodle Soup Made Easy is mostly guitar and sampler noise performed by me and Beloff, a couple of recordings having been released later, still many remain in the archives, including the demo presented here. The Noodles is the same band, but in a more noisecore version (my first experience with drums), for which I wanted to shorten the name and did it unsuccessfully, for there are countless bands with that name, so I haven't used it ever since. As for the Russian liberal song, the irony on the Russian liberalism (not such an invective at that time) has appeared to be prophetic.

The second Free Tape was planned and work on it started, but it hasn't been ever finished.
