vostoklakeI received a music voucher for Christmas 1991. There were two retrospective double-album compilations of bands I'd heard of that caught my eye. I got the one by Yes. I wonder how my musical direction and my life would have been different if I'd got the Talking Heads one instead? If I'd spent the 1990s ranting on about the genius of David Byrne rather than Jon Anderson? If I'd gone off on an 80's arty-new-wave kick rather than a 70's prog-rock kick?
