Some tracks ripped from vinyl record smuggled out of NK; not the best quality. Others available online. All written by Kim Jong-il himself!

The last 2 songs made my brain EXPLODE. uuuuhhh. (And I grew up on Party songs! But This! THIS!!!! And I don't even understand the lyrics, if I did I suspect it would be even worse.)
:D
Other than that, I'm surprised to hear so much Soviet influence, I expected more Asian influence if anything. The national anthem sounds especially like a Soviet Communist song.

The two pop songs at the end make this mix worth the listen...
