Music with Sound is probably the best-known of the Tape-beatles' works. First released in 1990, it demonstrates clear development from the crude musique-concrete techniques of their earlier work, making use of more sophisticated editing and mixing techniques. Beyond that, it also delves into challenging conceptual territory through their iconoclastic attitude towards such (then largely unquestioned) notions as copyright and artistic originality. Writing in Factsheet Five, August 1991, Phil Zampino clearly says: "...If [the Tape-beatles' plagiarism] immediately offends you, one can only point out that the deft assemblages, amazing sense of timing, and the wit and wonder of the work justifies their methods and makes it a [recording] that one can only marvel at. And listen to over and over, discovering where your reference of sound and theirs collide." Mark Frauenfelder, writing for bOING-bOING no. 7, says: "By grabbing infonoise from everyday living and presenting it in a new format, sounds take on new meaning. Listen to this one time and you will become a Tape-beatle whether you want to be one or not." As a completely Plagiarized® work, Music with Sound has been in turn itself plagiarized on numerous occasions. (The Orb have become Tape-beatles, too, by Frauenfelder's definition.) Someday soon, you'll say to yourself, I'll remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard The Tape-beatles' Music with Sound.
