Great pick with Golden Brown; one of the real classics, one of those songs that's almost metaphysical in the way it takes you to another place when you hear it :goodone: .

 

Cool surprise, it was featured prominently in a scene in the Black Mirror episode "Metalhead." Fantastic show and really fantastic episode btw.
