check archive, the lucy was a-flowing, kesey mourning his son, Awesome thunder machine with pranksters>space>to1 that effortlessly pays towering homage to that weird dark unknowable muse. Insane vocal work all over space from yoko ono wailing to news anchor rap. It's a long one and bends in and out of scenic backdrops like a light oil show, exceptionally sensitive work from all. something of a psychologically disturbing nature which zooms out and continues into a fallout-rainsoaked other one. Rainbows shading, the expanding and diminishing of fantastic tonal jams is putting the four horsemen in a bullfight until at last reapers return from the fringes into your central head bloodstream and Phil oppenheimers you back to the tribunals of olympus in the nick of time for Neal at the wheel to pick u up. Rousing, emotional stuff.
