Busy weekend...



I have been busy digitizing some old cassettes. They still sound good and it's nice to hear them again after so long. In order, above:

1. Kitaro -- Astral Voyage
2. Hawkwind -- Choose Your Masques
3. Hawkwind -- The Xenon Codex
4. Hawkwind -- Anthology Vol. I
5. Hawkwind -- Anthology Vol. II
6. Hawkwind -- Anthology Vol. III

Next in line are Kitaro India and Chuck Mangione Feels So Good.

I also did a few Alan Parsons Project albums during this past week. One of my favorite songs, regardless of group or genre, is Alan Parsons' "Don't Answer Me." I can listen to it over and over again.

If you believe in the power magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If I ever get around to creating a mix collection of pop songs with a prominent saxophone part, it will be there.

  1. I love hawkwind. To me they were both a great representation of the era and also pioneers of modern rock music
