This recording is Dance of the Universe's second outing. A wandering hippie named Jamil Soorami came into the gig one night and gave me a poem called Dance of the Universe. I think it was a coincidence, in other words, I think he had written the poem before meeting us and when he heard our band, he figured we ought to have his poem. I put music to it and this along with the epic The Space Between Two Thoughts composition rocketed this group of young musos off into thin air. Collector's item number two!
