Comment:

This tape remains pretty mid-tempo the whole way through, and has no particular emotional undercurrent; maybe that's how it should ideally be, though, it was made for a stranger ! Within the mid-tempo context, what kinds of songs can be included ? How about equal parts hard rock and Ethiopian music, some pop hits, an excerpt from the Spanish cast recording to "Jesus Christ Superstar" and other assorted detritus ?
