... and the intro to "25 or 6 to 4".  (I can't quite picture either Brock
OR TD as Chicago fans!)  And "Words of Aaron" by the Move (to be a bit more
obscure).

When 'California Brainstorm' was in the mixing/mastering stages, Phil Dirt
would *always* play the two (live instrumental outro of "Golden Void") back-
to-back on his KFJC radio show and they fit together perfectly.

My favorite is the intro/verses to Deep Purple's "Space Truckin'" (NOT the
chorus with the descending part) and the MC5 version of Sun
Ra's "Starship", from 'Kick Out The Jams'.
