My father introduced me to Holst's "The Planets" after hearing something in the Led Zeppelin song "Friends" (he had probably come upstairs to tell me to turn it down) that reminded him of that earlier work.
Anyway, this seems like fun.

Good stuff. My first hippie-headbanger friend in college turned me on to that work. We spent our days rotating that with The Wall, Metallica, The Band and some Frank Zappa a guy down the hall was in to.

Your Dad would certainly have admired that stamp, too. And would have made a special trip to the concert.

I think Mars is one of the most moving pieces of music evar.
