“Down The Nile”

by Fast Planet
1994 song

The title track of Fast Planet’s 1994 CD Down The Nile is excellent. "Down The Nile" is a long, dense psychedelic stew, featuring an enraged Sky Saxon crying out from the morass. A sitar burbles beside him, and "Down The Nile" continues around and around until the listener is exhausted.

A live version of "Down The Nile" appeared on the 1995 live release Rockin' The Croc/West Coast.
