Aw shoot. Just heard the original version on the radio a couple of days ago, driving, just like the first time. Made the hairs on my arms stand up, you know what I mean?

Always the first song on my road trip cassette--before we had a vehicle with a built-in tape player, we took along a little portable mono player (pre boom box days). We'd leave around three or four in the morning and we'd start the tape when we finally got on the freeway. On one trip the cassette got mixed up with my "party" tape that had Shatner's "Tambourine Man" followed by a sound effects record car crash--I must have been trancing out on Interstate 5 when the car crash sound came on and Vicki screamed causing me to jerk the wheel to avoid the imaginary accident ahead...good times!

There's also an almost Rockabilly version from 1992! It sounds amazing with headphones!

Man I remember when Twilight Zone came out, the band I worked for covered it, so fantastic...
Radar Love is like no other song.
While we're on the subject of ridiculously talented players of Orange, Hocus Pocus by Focus, forgot his name, the sooner I forget people can play like that, the better I can feel about myself.
Another really hard act to follow, unless you were Eddie ;]
Maybe something in the water?

Could it be Jan Akkerman? The former focus guitar player ?
there is nothing in the water (I hope) , though we have lots of it momentarily ...we are just very eager to catch up with USA, UK & Australian bands... this is big now in NI, I think we try to get into country music now

Yes Jan Akkerman. It's that "neoclassical thing", another sound. Totally unlike country, which evolved from blues.
