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

the 15th truckin sets up this DS which turns the cap into a cauldron well in advance of 2/18/71. Pindrop into Perseus and demeter being fanned with grape leaves before the 2nd half goes Milennium-falcon gearshift to beyond identity and security. Furiously deranged spires of a pallid descending void. monkey howling, coughing and laughing creep in to this postmodern screamer. true jurassic propulsion, flaming boulders denting the earth through evolutionary storms. a prayer for mercy from unrelenting torment. the main ten blows in with the ashes of pompeii blowing out. Massive run

A triumphant tube-blowing Evil Kanevil rockabilly medley. Blistering jukebox mode
