Rise Up!
Price 14.39 - 21.80 USD
What first stirred in the heart and soul of man, deep in the night and twilight of obscure caves and woods, back when the ear was an organ of fear and survival? Does man express himself through music or does music express itself through man? The Doctor knows, but he ain"t saying--or rather, he just said it, chapter and verse. Listen close now, cos you can follow the doctor"s advice, but you can"t follow the Doctor.
