I've got one of those in the basement. It's an okay machine, but it's so damn heavy, I haven't even set it up since I moved in here. Plus I've got a cassette 4-track anyway, which is way more user-friendly for a lazy bastard like me.

Yeah, an early death certainly helped make him an icon...
tragic though, a young man choking on his own semen.

the most inventive cassette four track recording that i have ever heard is john frusciante's Niandra Lades and Usually just a T shirt. it came out in 1994 but man was it ahead of (or behind its) time. lots of backwards stuff.
ps. nebraska was not done on cassette!

Wikipedia wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska_%28album%29Initially, Springsteen recorded demos for the album at his home with 4-track cassette recorder. The demos were sparse, using only acoustic guitar, electric guitar (on "Open All Night"), harmonica, and Springsteen's voice.
Springsteen then recorded the album in a studio with the E Street Band. However, he and the producers and engineers working with him felt that a raw, haunted folk essence present on the home tapes was lacking in the band treatments, and so they ultimately decided to release the demo version as the final album.
EDIT:
aew beat me to it, and his link is more interesting anyway.

cLOUDDEAD's self titled, monsterous, best hip-hop record ever was done on cassette. God, what a fucking great record.
One of the reasons they use tons of different beats in one song is because the timing was a little funny on the machine and if they kept a beat or sample going too long it would get out of sync with the other parts.

I'd quite like to hear that record, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't done on a
four track.
