Scorching opener from the Brothers 1975 double platinum album.

Thou [11:09]
"Into the Marshlands/Clarity"

More heaviness, this time by way of Louisiana. Easily one of the best doom albums of the last 10 years.

Heaven 17 [19:40]
"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang"
Heaven 17
Arista AL 6606 1982
Sadly, as true today as it was 40 years ago, if not more so.

Cheap Trick [23:58]
"Reach Out"
Heavy Metal - Music from the Motion Picture
Full Moon DP-90004/Asylum Records DP-90004 1981

"J.S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565"

That's right, Bach orgelwerk set to a light show, oops light experience. No, really.

"Diving Duck Blues"
Heavy Sounds
Columbia CS 9952 1970
Compilation for the kids who are into the heavy stuff. This track is a selection from Taj's first album.
