Regression Mix 003 November 1979

LISTEN HERE

Hello. Listen carefully! I am going to take you back. Back to a time when music was great! All music was great! Singles, b-sides, album tracks, radio and TV all filled your ears with wonderful sounds from a vast variety of different genres. Not for you the many podcasts, radio stations and mixes that feature a single type of music. No constant repeat of chart songs you’ve heard a million times before. Our  point in time this time is November 1979, where I will guide you to a profound wonderful state where your body is absolutely relaxed and your mind is free. Free to accept ideas, free to explore possibilities, free to expand. You’ll have access to all your memories, to long forgotten memories. All those feelings, all those long past moments which made you who you are today. Now take a deep breath and let’s begin…
