Dick Hyman: The best name and one of the best songs

Yes, Dick Hyman is my man.  I stand by him until the end of the universe, the Dick or the Hyman all the way.  Enough absurdity, his song "The Minotaur" is one of the titan's of electronic music.  It has one of the most pronounced solos on the Moog, with so much flare and such class that it deserves the greatest of praise.  Not only this, but it cleanly fits into that great category known as Psychedelic music.  Yet it comes from a suit wearing square that would fit better on the moon than at Woodstock.  Truly, a cross cutting genius.  And thanks to Robert Moog (RIP, sweet electronic prince) for making the device that saved the 20th century.
