And for me the first HW song I ever heard was "Kings Of Speed" on Voice
Of America or BBC - don't remember exactly - back in ol' 75 (or was it
76?). And my first album was Doremi Fasol Latido 13 years later... the
first one I met in my homeland...

Another funny thing is that about the same time I got a first russian
translation of Mike Moorcock's Corum trilogy - and was absolutely
fascinated by it. So when later I have learned about HW-Moorcock
connection, it was really strange experience for me... I felt it wasn't
just coincidence...

As for me, I think I'v got just what I required... Both DFL and WatEoT
are terribly good albums
