02. Karma to Burn - Ma Petit Mort

04. The Heads - GNU

My favourite songs in this selection are 18 A.D., a Q.O.T.S.A.'s track available only in this release, Monster Astronauts by Spiritual Beggars, Acquarian by Sleep and Bud Song from the Acrimony, but I have to say that every single second of this compilation needs to be listened!

As the cover say... more than 60 minutes of cosmic sludge rock!
