third stone from the sun

On Neptune, every minute has its own penny. You can only pay for something at its exact particular moment.  I had no friends on Neptune, only acquaintances- We were all immigrants and were all awaiting our papers.

  I met Barnacle Bill there. He trained baby seals for Celine Dion and was famous for putting his head in the mouth of a rabbit. 

"You might pick up a tuba one day," he told me once, "And discover a melody that will stop a nest of hornets from demolishing everything that you love.  No one else needs even to hear it, really.  That's the hardest part for most people to understand." 

ripped my 10" of this and uploaded it at 128kbps.  It's out of print.  These cuts have the same ambiance and musicianship as the ethiopiques#4 disc.  the compositions are maybe a notch less sublime, but they are still groovy, deep, and utterly unique
