Focus on the Tony Visconti-produced T. Rex album Electric Warrior. It's been one of my favorite records since a friend turned me on to it back in the 80s. So I thought I'd pick a few songs off it, plus covers, other Visconti-produced songs, some Donovan (closer to early Marc Bolan material), Brian Eno, and similar sounds. www.wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/936
