I know we've heard "Arc of a Diver" a lot, but I think this is about as good as synth-heavy music gets.
I think it's been quite a while for this particular tune. Sounds pretty good, even though it has pretty much nonsensical lyrics.

I think Winwood was cribbing from the Jon Anderson school of lyrical obscurity.
Let's get right to it.

ETA2: Don Pardo agrees with me!

So far no Springsteen deep cut, but at least there's one from Journey.

Speaking of Firesign Theatre, I was listening to an archived DM set from 1971 a few weeks ago that included the opening segment from I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus ("Welcome...to the future...") in which the dialogue included an audible "Oh FUCK!" that was not bleeped, even on the replay from which I recorded it.

Oh, those were the days.
