The Soundtrack you hear in your head as you hand the toll collector your last dollar and drive tentatively into the lonely tunnel toward the arms of Morpheus. But like, who's playing that crazy organ?

| XTC | All of a Sudden | English Settlement | Caroline (Geffen) | CD |
Some thought it 'slick." at the time. It sounded to me like updated Zombies; British suburban, breadth of subject matter; tuneful; skilled, emotionally not a little frightening. |
1982 | 1:46:42 (Real) | |
| Distraction Boys | We're Going to Hell | Don't Adjust Your Set - there's nothing wrong with your needle! | Cryptovision | LP | when u needed a needle! | 1986 | 1:57:18 (Real) | |

String Quartet #5, Movement 3, "In the Fifth Dimension" | String Quartets Nos. 1, 5 & 7 | Naxos | CD |
Performed by Kreutzer Quartet. I listen to a lot of quartet music, this is unlike anything I've heard. Music comprised almost entirely of glissandi. |
2002 | 2:08:10 (Real) | |
| Fibonaccis | Purple Haze | Radio Tokyo Tapes Volume Two | Enigma | LP | They only sound Japanese. | 1984 | 2:16:50 (Real) | |

| Mar-keys | Angel Dust | Memphis Experience | Stax | LP | 2:34:55 (Real) | |||
| Eddie Floyd | Linda Sue Dixon | Down to Earth | Stax | LP | Hardly primo Eddie, but this Steve Cropper co-produced LP has a few peculiar treasures, like this one. L.S.D., get it? | 2:38:16 (Real) | ||

| Latimore | There's a Red-Neck in a Soul Band | Latimore III | Glades | LP |
The "red-neck" is probably played by Little Beaver Hale, who is definitely not. Benny Latimore made 3 or 4 fine LPs for Glades/TK in the Seventies, writing, arranging, singing & playing excellent keyboards. |
1975 | 2:48:00 (Real) | |
