Hitting you with some deep cuts of 1994 this time. Or at least they would’ve been deep cuts to me a few years ago. I suspect they might not be to all of you. A few years back I did a list of the top 100 tracks of the year, which I’m not reposting it because I only stand by about 70% of it. In lieu of that I played a few tracks that I’ve heard or reevaluated since that deserve to be on such a list. Also have chatter on the value of digging through a year in music and some things to avoid if you do take on such a project. Highly recommended!
