How about:
'Celestial Terrestrial Commuters' by The Mahavishnu Orchestra,
or 'The Man Who Waved At Trains' by Soft Machine.
I don't think you will have come across those.
MO & SM (esp with the Welsh connection) are at least names known to me but not those tracks ... both intriguing titles I must say. Anecdote from late 70s: Boys from my school go backstage after a Jan Akkerman concert. Challenged they say 'We've come to see the world's best guitarist'. Jan: 'Sorry, John McGlaughlin's not here' (Untruths are acceptable in certain circs).
I saw/heard John McLaughlin live three times in three different formats and Soft Machine.
I'm impressed. You are obviously a mighty Rock Guru. I bow to your knowledge. :-)
