Description:
During the late '80s and early '90s, lo fidelity became not only a description of the recording quality of a particular album, but it also became a genre onto itself. Throughout rock & roll's...

Lo-fi — from "Low Fidelity" — describes a sound recording which contains accidental artifacts, like distortion, or environmental noise, or a recording which has a limited frequency response. This stands in contrast to high fidelity or "hi-fi". — Lo-fi music is a musical genre which uses lo-fi recording practices. The aim is to sound authentic, rather than over-produced. Many lo-fi artists use inexpensive cassette tape recorders for their music.

    Hi everyone ! I'm new here, and I guess not many of you will take the time to read this message, but well... I've been composing/recording my music for the last 4 years in my bedroom (vive la Lo-fi !), and I decided that it was about time to expose it to people. In order not to waste your time : basically, my music is a mixture of fuzz and clean sounds (delay, reverb, blah blah blah). Cheers from France ! => http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Night+Garden

    I thought people here should read this. I got a review destroying my lo-fi album and my work and one of the arguments is that it´s lo-fi. It seems that some people really can´t understand lo-fi as a choice. Here is the link for the review: http://www.indiemusicreviewer.com/richard-there-if-the-world-calls-please-leave-a-message/

    I just completed "Control With Fear", the newest album of remixes by Fearless Fate. Enjoy the noise, my friends. I recommend 13 " Someone In Hell (Smoked Up Mix)".
