[Music] David Bowie – Warszawa (from the album ‘Stage’)
No need to comment on David Bowie’s instrumental masterpiece except to say that it is truly sublime listening.
[Music] Betty Davis – Your Mama Wants Ya Back
The Queen of Funk, Betty Davis, lets it be known she wants Daddy home!
[Music] Roy Harper- Me and My Woman
Roy Harper was (and is, as he’s very much alive) an incredible folk singer out of England. This particular piece is his magnum opus to my ears.
[Music] Edward Artemiev – Solaris Theme – Full Bach

Released on the Cosmic Couriers label ((Die Kosmischen Kuriere, for those who do Deutsch) in 1973, it hovers near the very peak of my LP Grail list. I’ve never held a copy, never […]
