Congrats on getting to your 20th edition of Timelines! Such a smart mix once again and clearly a labour of love, as they all have been. BRAVO!
Any guidance on who the mystic is that is being referred to in the first half? Harrison? Morrison? Leary? Koresh? I can't work it out!
Thank you once again. A joy to listen this and all your content.

Hey Jengel. Thanks for the nice comments as always mate. The Mystic is Eden Ahbez, writer of Nature Boy. The original hippie. The poetry snippets around that bit of the mix are a recording of Ahbez from the 50s. Cheers, JJ :-)

Mel Torme - Secret Agent Man...what a great track!
yeah, Mel Torme, great voice and made some great tunes. My old man's favourite. :-)
Awww jj6ms !! Lloyd Charmers' take on that epic Ohio Players classic with heavy dub emphasis seriously did it justice. & being Time Machine-biased many thanks for another great set ft. more 'shenanigans of they' !!
