    • Looks cool when you put them together like that, but in reality, the branding was total horeshit. Ugly, poorly executedCygnusZero4
    • agree with cygnus - always thought they looked hideous on shelves.fadein11

    • Nah, totally agree with you, mekk - I remember coveting certain brands of tape when I was younger. Sure, if you only bought cheap-ass tapes like those UR 90s...detritus
    • ..you'd end up with crap-looking stuff - that's half the point of marketing differentation, isn't it? They're probably all the same things under the wrap.detritus
    • some old stuff is quality, of course. this stuff? nah not really. more nostalgia talking. the design work is meh.CygnusZero4
    • Always liked the look of theTDK SA 90 and SA 80. The matte black was nice.wordssssss
    • Oh yeah, brother - TDK SA90s were teh gorjos.detritus
    • so dope!bklyndroobeki
    • I always liked the maxell joints. Had to record on those as a kid lolsublocked
    • although they were poorly executed, they are quite memorable (perhaps because they were poorly executed)bklyndroobeki
    • I liked the Maxell ones too. Still better quality than you get w/ mp3formed
    • memorable through ubiquityfadein11
    • All I remember is being really, really OCD with the alignments of labels, making sure they were utterly straight.Continuity
    • some great colour palettes to be stolen from the designs.microkorg
