The twin...a physically mirrored image of a person yet having its own distinct personality and traits. Separate, each is a strong character with its own friends and fans. Together, they are unstoppable and can unify people who favor one over the other. This mixtape is a great example of that. Seven bands, 14 tracks. Side 1 is a calmer, normal side. Sure there is some feedback and a bit of oddness but it's a pretty simple, laid back selection of songs. Beginning in reverse order from the first side, the artists display the experimental, weird and/or loud elements of their work. It's this combination that makes these artists more interesting to listen to as well as what has made them the respected artists that they are today.
