Not an album...it's a 24/7 stream of fantasy music from lesser known composers. 

Doubleplusgood if you like the genre.

The more I listen to these guys, the better I like them....... This song has a choppy Thin Lizzy dual guitar thing going.

I heard this as background music in a compilation of old drag racing pictures a while back and it still hits me in the feels every time.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about this song, and honestly, I most likely haven't heard it since the 90's.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane.  ?

If you are audio geek like myself and enjoy how the later year Beatles and many Pink Floyd albums were carefully constructed to create a musical mood and sonic soundscape then Gomez - Bring It On is an album you will enjoy. 

Sit yourself down in front of your stereo system speakers, turn down the lights and let this album unfurl before you.  Here is the opening track but you cannot fully appreciate it on any device you are using to consume this forum.

I'm just getting into this band, the dB's.  '80s alternative/college rock is fascinating...

Sorry...not an album...but it sure makes me want to work on a fast old car...

Prefab Sprout - Steve Mcqueen.

I recently went down the Tally Hall rabbit hole.  They released two albums and then went on an extended hiatus.

This song is from their debut album, Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, which apparently had been re-recorded and re-released one or two times.  The editing of this video is impressive.

Tally Hall - Good Day

Have you ever wondered how science fiction and bluegrass might sound combined?

Just finding this fellas music to listen to........... Kamasi Washington, he plays the saxophone. Cool little jazz ditty that falls apart in a few places (which I always enjoy!). Hope y'all like it!

International Submarine Band (Gram Parsons, et alia) , 1966. 

This song was dusted off a few years later by the Flying Burrito Brothers (Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow, Chris Etheridge, Michael Clarke) on their debut album Gilded Palace of Sin , 1969.

As a side note : International Submarine Band was featured in the Roger Corman "exploitation" film The Trip (Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Dennis Hopper). For whatever reason, their actual music wasn't featured. As the story goes, Fonda wanted the I.S.B. music in the film, but it was deemed too unusual (e.g., "Country Rock")

Without further ado :
