Hi KL and gang, Interesting mix of stuff on "Mars", or
"Devil's Triangle. " Toss a playing MK-II into a wood-chipper
(UGH!) and you have the famous K-C piece from 1970.

All kinds of MK-II rhythms/fills emerge from the cacaphony
of noise near the ending. Including the "Crimson King" phrase
from their prev. album.

Disco version of Herr Ludwig's 5th ?? Nah !
Maybe a hip-hop mix of "Dance On A Volcano." ..... Egads !

Cheers, JK (.......a roomfull of subwoofers at the ready.....)
