ObCD: Spiral Realms, _Solar Wind_       Cleopatra Hypnotic CLP 9764-2

Inside it says "All tracks recorded live on the Space Ritual 1995 tour" !
In other words, to get the rock tracks from SR95, you need to get
Nik Turner's _Past or Future_, while to get the synth tracks from SR95
you need to get Spiral Realms _Solar Wind_.

Due to what is listed under the same cat# in the included Cleopatra catalog,
I think this CD was originally entitled _Live Transmissions from G9_.
Maybe during this title change the "live" got dropped from the cover.

Tracks:
    Cysyrgy
    Lunar Sea
    1000 Years Under Solar Sails
    Tritium
    Solar Wind
    Del Dettmar Improvisation
    The Forge Of Vulcan
    Interstellar Overdrive

So there's some from the two Spiral Realms albums, and some tracks whose
original versions were on Nik Turner, Hawkwind, and Pink Floyd albums.
The Spiral Realms tracks sound somewhat like the originals, though
House uses more violin here.  "Forge of Vulcan" however, isn't nearly
as good as the original.  The whole CD doesn't have good sound quality,
and sometimes sounds like a bootleg.
