This is the third and probably last installment of the WFMU blog hippie noise identification contest, you can check out the previous ones here and here. Today you'll get only the first three minutes of a longer track: Mystery MP3.
The first one to ID the artist and/or album from which this is taken gets a prize in the mail. This album should have been played on WFMU, but surprisingly that hasn't happened according to the WFMU playlist search. However, I am sure that the blog readers will have little trouble identifying it in no time. Good luck!
Great Track (in part). I love the Synth + Piano + Percussion interplay. And I have no clue what it is. Sounds like something Tony Coulter would play. Good Luck Everyone!!

Not Blitzoids, Einstürzende Neubauten, or Bauhaus. Keep the guesses coming!

Sounds like Cheer Accident detuning Hawkwind's instruments while covering "Welcome To The Machine."

Good guesses (it does sound like Bob Seger, doesn't it?), but no hit yet. Maybe it is time for a hint: The band was a duo from Japan, and this is their (extremely rare) first album, recorded in 1979, released in 1980. Their second album was later reissued and appeared on one of WFMU's Heavy Airplay lists.
