I recommend The Ascent of Man byJacob Bronowsk. Its Cosmos that instead of the universe, looks are theevolution of man in terms of art and science. I had a college class based onthe series in 1973 which dovetailed with prog rock and my search formeaning in life.
First episode on U Tube found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHJrSZWFQFo
And besides "42" I'm stilllooking.

Well Tony, I feel better already….
Hang onto thatvinyl …yeah….I understand the re-mastered for CD was not as good, and I’ve seenthis vinyl on Ebay for some “big” bucks.
(I bought it after hearing the part at 2:20 on Carl Sagan’s Cosmos TV program…a part aboutwhales…if I’m not mistaken).

Was cleaning outsome stuff in my house, boxing up old vinyl’s….(yes…I still have some).
Stumbled uponthis old import album.
Music thatpreceded the ’Trance era…found in the electronic section of the local PenquinFeather store (some of you guys may remember those).

Comments as seenon Youtube….
“EdgarFroese certainly got it right on this LP...one of the best Mellotron-basedworks ever.”
“One of themost fantastic and greatest albums ever. It inspired me to make an almost allMellotron album of my own. Soft ware is good but that twin mark 5 and m400 aremuch better than mine.”
The old vinyl recording with the great mellotron sequence at the beginning, I found better. She was fantastic, not as synthetic as this new release.
