.... best of the year? Autobahn billy and jer and keith locking into some mystical lyre-picking for phil and donna to channel hunter's almost-antipathic worldview for the composer himself to use what the last 5 years had taught him so beautifully.. it infuses hope to the endlessly-shifting modality of the way hunter would specify the turn of phrase in "believe it if you need it" - somehow embracing and rejecting spirituality at once - it's all so naturally involved with an effortless higher being of consciousness afforded with certified good ole membership
