Signed by Apple Records on the basis of his Bolan-esque appeal, Ringo-approved psychonaut Chris Hodges released this 1972 single. Along with atypical Morricone-like flourishes and a propulsive rhythm lifted from the Amboy Dukes' Journey To the Center of Your Mind, it's embued with that spirit of intergalactic travel that informed Hawkwind's Silver Machine. Dig that sitar.
