OMG! This is it! I remember listening to this, haven't heard it since 1994 when Kurdt passed away and Melodies From Mars, that's all I used to listen to. This music reminds me of my grandma because I used to play these albums at her place. Now she also passed. Thank you for making this Richard D James! I remember the moment I went to the back of the music store and searched for the most obscure energising out there music I could find. For some reason I stopped listening to this music and now I hear it again, I really like it!
