We have similar touchpoints. I recall being on a extended bus trip in high school and listening to Oxygene on tape over and over well into the night. This was a revelation. The album still brings me back to a certain state of wonder. Another revelation was 6th grade music class, when the teacher asked us to visualize what might be happening during a particular piece of music. It was Tomita's version of Holst's "Mars" from "The Planets". > As a side note did anybody else ever hear the version of the soundtrack of > "Star Wars" entitled "Star Wars and other galactic funk".

A couple years ago, I sought out this Meco Monardo CD (for other galactic funk), and recently played it for coworkers. It was a campy hit! Tangerine Dream's "Exit" was another electronic favorite. I also listened to Klaatu's first two albums quite a lot at that tender age. -- im --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
