Notes: Another tribute album from Billy Sherwood and Cleopatra Records. As with Led Box, Sherwood's contributions are bulked out with other material. Sherwood's tracks 1, 2 and 5-14 were recorded for this release, while 18 comes from the Jim Ladd's Headsets digital-only release From Here to Infinity. Track 20 seems to be from Tangerine Dream's 2008 Booster Vol. II album. Sherwood said of "Let It Be" that "Geoff did his own orchestral type additional section at the end". (HP, 19 Apr 09)
