I use an edited version of this as my ringtone.

I've played several of the games quoted and indeed Skyrim 5 special edition is my current time-stealer (I'm around 60 hours in).
RDD2 is probably the most graphically gorgeous of the lot - there were times I just climbed a hill to view the landscape and watch the world go by. But I did find many...

My Guru Guru CD arrived from Germany this morning.
The veteran Krautrockers have done it again, with a hard-to-define blend of metal, jazz and funk, with a hint of Hawkwind and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band thrown in.
Nice presentation too, with a booklet of photos from the band's 50 year history....

OK, it's been a week with no new responses, so maybe Sir Clive's C5 has come to the end of the road.

Good call for Deep Purple and Hawkwind - they've been on my playlist for several decades.
Since the lockdowns I've been exploring some lesser known European metal bands.
There's some magnificent Scandi and Finnish heavy bands like Finntroll, Opeth and Ensiferum.
