First off the Third Ear Band and now Moondog! Brings back those heady days of the late 60s and early 1970s…"The Magus" by Third Ear Band. Not as good as the S/T album but still a good, freaky listen!

Herbie Hancock "Crossings"
I've always loved the story (true or false!?) that Iron Butterfly were so high that they sang "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" instead of "In The Garden Of Eden" and didn't know how to stop playing so went on jamming for over 17 minutes!@greg thanks again. There is some really great music on the Brownswood Recordings label. Plus I see that it was founded by one of my favourites, Gilles Peterson."No Rest For The Wicked" by Truth and Janey
