The ten cuts on the 1993 compilation California Dreaming: The Ultimate Cyberhippy Experience. DJ Rix sez:

Here's an excellent display for the Museum of Antique Beats. Californians had a sense of humor in this era of trance dance stuff, it was at times a strange, synthetic intersection of The Hollywood Argyles, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Martin Denny, & movie soundtrack music. Cantamilla by Tranquility Bass [Realaudio] is one of the few enduring masterpieces of the genre; Straight Up Caffeine grabs & never lets go with its buzzsaw bottom & shrieking tribal female up top; & you can come up with your own imaginary film for the moody Theme from Daisy Glow [Realaudio] .

Bonus: Tom Waits on the Mike Douglas Show.

Just one example of why such a mild talk show host is remembered so fondly.
