Now for something to take us all higher, a song of no fixed time or space ( could be 1978, or 1987 or 2001 or now). “The Border” oozes otherworldly wonder, featuring a warm yet mannered vocal ( think The Beloved) and plush melody ( think Hooverphonic ) topped with an ascending violin line so exquisite that it may inspire some involuntary swooning. Yes, it’s a beauty. And if you dig this and feel like some more organic space music after you’ve played it 100x, go have a listen to “You’re Not Alone”, the 1978 album by the late guitar genius Roy Buchanan wherein the blues based virtuoso goes all spaced out and synthy and confused in a not dissimilar feeling vein, link below.
