Heavy & Weird

This is a digital version of the mixtape which I got from Jan Anderzén (Kemialliset Ystävät, Tomutonttu) around 1996-1997. I found only the tracklist, not the original cassette, so I couldn't add the last tracks; which were 'the archive treasures' of Kemialliset Ystävät (sorry!) - but I added two tracks from their Pitkäsoitto cassette, and one live track from Auditory Illusions cassette.

The sides of the tape where titled 'The heavy side' and 'The weird side'. Tracks from Flipper to Gate are on HEAVY, and the rest in WEIRD. It was the first time when I heard any of these bands, and this tape became very important and influental to me. Before this tape I only read about those bands; from Jan's fanzine Hindupyöräiljä, and Janne Mäki-Turja's Mutiny!
