Customer Reviews Simply Amazing If you only listen to that CD or just know Radar Love or Twilight Zone, then you would never know that this amazing music exists. So I started out with Golden Earring's "The Devil Made Me Do It", an extensive collection of some of their greatest hits. Its experimental to say the least. The instrumentals are by far the highlight of this CD. There is extensive soloing on their cover of the Byrd's "Eight Miles High". The best songs on the CD are Eight Miles High, Everyday's Torture, and Song of the Devil Serpant. If you want to hear some of the best instrumental stuff out there, then I recommomend this CD. Evolving into Rock Stratos but not quite yet So, I have to agree that it is for completionists and the very curious. I wanted very badly to like this disc but alas after 6 months I have to say that it is difficult to listen to with one exception which is 'One Huge Road'. The 'Golden Earring' disc is a much more satisfying place to start for me although historically eight miles high did bring them much notoriety. The song Eight Miles High is like a great garage band going on too long for my taste. Classic Late 60's Psychedelia Kick back, put on the headphones, fast forward to 8 Miles High, and Enjoy!. The 19 minute version of 8 Miles High is worth the price of the album alone! The rest of the album is all right, but sounds a bit dated. .
