I agree re OUTSIDE. It's a really nice piece of work.

I sure do, in part because I have a 1970s - 80s independent record-
store-owning older brother. I wasn't born until 1969... but he had
already busily collected the WEIRDEST assortment of psychedelia,
rock, pop, etc... (he says his favorite band back when I was born was
Van Der Graaf Generator. Does it get much weirder?) Jaimie is
absolutely right about the 1960s -- a complete shoreline wreck of
styles and ideas all colliding against one another. Wasn't the most
wacked out year ever on the Billboard hot 100 in 1968? Richard
Harris?!? what ARE the kids LISTENING to? My brother's store also
sold hi-fi stereo equipment back in the early days (remember when?),
so I got spoiled by Ohm speakers at a young, young age (ask Dave
Bradley what effect that might have). Listening to that stuff on that
equipment surely has warped me for life...
<plug> On that note, I've been listening to Dee Long's "Outside of
Time and Space" a lot recently on my Ohm speakers and am just floored
at what a truly awesome follow up it is to his work I loved in
Klaatu. Any fan who doesn't have it is rilly missin' out. Just
sayin'. </plug>
