    'The Microcosm: Visionary Music Of Continental Europe, 1970-1986' is an overview of key works from cosmically-taped in artists needing little introduction — Vangelis, Ash Ra Tempel, and Popol Vuh — and unknown masterpieces by criminally overlooked heroes like Bernard Xolotl, Robert Julian Horky and Enno Velthuys. Ambient, new age, neuzeit, prog, krautrock, cosmic, holistic and beyond!
