EV004: My School Days (‘91-‘98)

Hello there! Andrew Beeken here with my first mix. This tape is a little on the personal side as it’s pretty much made up of a lot of the tracks I would have included on the tapes I made while I was at school. It covers 1991 - 1998, the years in which I guess I was discovering my musical soundscape.

As I was compiling this I noticed that the sides kind of have their own identity - side A is very bright and full (generally) of brit-poppy tunes, while side B is a little darker with more emphasis on grunge and some heavier tracks.
