Guest Mix Tape : ASylum #1

 

The Guest Mix this month comes courtesy of the inimitable ASylum. It has been some time since I have laid my hands on one of these, and, true to form, this is a display of a unique take on the art of the mix tape. 

There is an interesting jonesing on 80's frontrunners, together with some classic rock, and vaguely left-field turns, but then, as a true music fan (who has succeeded in remaining refreshingly aloof from the furor of the indie movement) it is an irrepressibly entertaining listen.
