How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci

Advantages: An excellent album of sweet tunes!
Disadvantages: None

...Gorky's Zygotic Mynci are probably one of the 'least known' but very good innovative bands around! Championed by the legendary John Peel, who also championed JImi Hendrix when he first appeared on the scene (so really knows what he is on about), Gorky's Zygotic Mynci do what they do best, with this their seventh album.
