Hasta ahora no te he dado las gracias por esta magnífica página, pero al escuchar el tema “Right On Target” no me he resistido a agradecerlo. Precisamente el viernes pasado la estuve pinchando, junto a mi hermano, la versión editada en España.

Gracias DjPaul.

“WHOAH!…huh…huh..that’s pretty cool!” 🙂

Thanks for another great post. Hoping to discover more Megatone tracks here at BTG. You are the best. Any possibility that Tantra – The Hills Of Katmandu (The Patrick Cowley Megamix) will appear here someday? All the best!

I’ve been searching for it for years, with no luck. It seems impossible to find. I have an mp3 I found online, but as you can imagine, the sound quality is not good. It is such an amazing track, you would think there would be a hi-quality version of it somewhere online. All the best.
