this is a serious version- Phil gets some radioactivity early in the solo and it's off to the races!

great lively kits, and horrifying beam-staring into the sun at full tilt. Comprehensive schoenberg space. iykyk. The best have lasting ramifications.

slept on this one! It smokes! this is a chainsmoker of a whisked, aromatic spicy crock-pot delight. Devils hit deep mellow groove immediately, canvas is perfect, everyone gets to work with angelic grace.

see above, medieval, cinematic, knights and fair maidens song delivery, dark psycho churning turtle jam

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.
