didn't even realize the Magic Shroom comp was on the list. Was it that one
released by Cleo in the '90s? Why the fuck didn't I hang on to that one??
BTW - the MMB kinda morphed into Astralasia...not everyone's cuppa, but if
I have an itchin' for some Space-Techno...and of course they remixed
Hawkwind.
