it's like riding a huge centipede with a wooden leg across the prarie at a full gallop - I'm tapping my foot at off-beat random intervals, this is impossible to keep up with, let alone play -
so good to hear this material (after too many years of bemoaning losing the original vinyl), but I gotta laff when I heard this one again, as I think it's a personal dig at Mr Maharatso for trying to assume ownership of so much of the M.O.'s repetoire, when -- it's so clear in these posts -- that it was Jan who brought so much of his own material and sensibility to that group ... it's also funny that Jan would write a piece in 21, going one better than 19 (Celestial Terrestrial Commuters)

@drumz47;
I think it was more that fusion was highly underrated.
I venture a guess that everyone I knew at the time (being a working musician back then) would have put him in the top 5.
Nice to see the occasional youngster dial this stuff in.
