Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

crushing. Nimble and charged with experimental energy.

this show needs votes. Twinkly and devastating comes a time, riotous jazzy other one. Chris hazard again.

Fierce and expansive.

85 is always off the charts for imaginative last-ditch invention and razor-sharp tone accounting for new textures to be emerging with preternatural ease to guide even jukebox quality droning jams into an irresistably puzzling infinity.
