Comment:

And here's another brand new mix for the holiday season! (Although once again, there's no holiday motif.) The show gets off to a rollicking, rousing start with Yes giving an epic treatment to Richie Havens! The Pink Floyd number is a real rarity, a 1968 single that's only officially appeared on CD as part of the bonus disc in the 1992 "Shine On" box set! Elsewhere, Patti Smith gives us the third chapter in what I like to call the "Southern Cross" trilogy (the other two being CSN's "Southern Cross" and Black Sabbath's "Sign Of The Southern Cross")! And closing out the first half is a seriously scary two-part epic from Van Der Graaf Generator frontman Peter Hammill, with pulsating and pounding drums, creepy and dissonant haunted-house keyboards, warped and distorted electronics and lyrics sung from the point of view of a seductive and sinister demon/demigod! (Probably better for a Halloween mix than for Christmas, but I just didn't think of it back then!) Also, Track #7 on Disc #1 is dedicated to none other than...why, Captain Hi-Top, of course! :-)
