Enjoy this colorful space trip, which brings you the best cosmic and psychedelic gems from the 70s and 80s. I dug as deep as possible in the crates and searched for all kinds of genres: Pop, Rock, Soul, Folk, Funk, Jazz, New-Age, Fusion and AOR. The mix consists of 4 parts: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four planets closest to the sun, known as the Inner Planets.

The opening track is 'The Moving Finger' by American jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby. A psychedelic jazz-funk track from her 1970 album The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby, producer by Chicago soul wizard Richard Evans. After this record she moved to California and worked with Bill Withers, Freddie Hubbard, Earth, Wind & Fire, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder. Stevie about Dorothy: "When we finally got 'If It's Magic' (Songs In The Key of Life) to work, it was because of the greatness of Dorothy Ashby. She did just something incredible. She let the harp sing".
