You know how it is. You’ve all been there. A warm Sunday afternoon in 1970. San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park lures you with its rich green eucalyptus trees. Over there, the children’s playground. Slides, swings, monkey bars... A little further away, a merry-go-round is spinning. Its magnificent sound, a madman’s mechanical Gamelan, tells you there is only one thing to do: Ride this ancient carousel. Anyway, the acid hasn’t really kicked in yet, so why not? Released originally in 2001 as a limited edition CD by Ralph America. with guests: Combo de Mechanico
