- 'Universal Mind' also from the Doors live CD
- Two tracks from 'Yessongs', which is a live CD - first is a live version of the aforementioned 'Mood for a Day' followed by the keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman playing excerpts from his then recently-released 'Six Wives of Henry VIII'
- A group called 'Dead Can Dance' and the album is 'Spleen and Ideal' and the track I believe was called 'Mesmerism'. It's an amazing album that I purchased on impulse many years ago - I think it was mainly due to the group's name and the CD cover! But the chic has an amazing vocal range. All their songs have a surreal, other-worldly 'feel' to them. But I digress ...
- A CD called 'Chants of serenity' that I picked up for a couple of bucks. I believe the track I included was called ... oh I'll have to get up and go into the bedroom and ferret around for the CD booklet ... it was called "Lecon et Respons De L'Office Des Morts". I did study French at school but all I get out of that is something about response and death ... :) It's an interesting album, blending Gregorian chants with sounds of nature. Can be quite effective if you're in the mood for that kind of thing. But I dogress again ...
- Another Tangerine Dream track called 'Wahn' from their album 'Atem'. I was a huge Tangerine Dream fan at one stage. :)
- A song called 'Freeze Frame' from Godley & Creme. Very 'interesting' lyrics especially the bit about designing rooms and flying kites. I wonder if they took drugs while writing them. Anyway, I believe Godley & Creme were two members of a group called 10 CC who had quite a few hits in the seventies. You probably have heard a couple.
- Stephan Micus from his album 'The Music of Stones'. The track has no title that I'm aware of. A rose by any other name ...
- 'I bet you they won't play this song on the radio' from those wacky Monty Python lads. :)
- 'The Bruces' and their philosopher's song also by Monty Python. I think I included it ... the bit about Kant & Nietzsche & John Stuart Mill getting drunk ... :)
- Is that the end of side two? Or did I include some Overtone Chanting to fill in the remaining minutes? If so, then it would be from an album called 'Colours of Silence' by Nigel Charles Halfhide. Interesting surname! Somewhat similar to the Gyuto chanting and quite remarkable in itslef.
There. Hope that enhances the listening experience. :)
