Eerie. this jerry-driven version is mired in the paranoia of imminent doom with the wink of cyberjazz. Reaches a to1-esque crater of solemn peace.

yet another symphonic slammer. Deeply meant.

First rate. Excellent group blend, they're ready for the fireworks of the two years to follow

80s are a goldmine for LLR's, this one wirey, lustrous and cinematic.

welcome wink of a heel-diggingly true pure rendering. Spiky and down home like jerry and hunter's best evocations of timeless tribulation and delitez.

Love the 4/8 london one, and this!!! DS>sug. mag.>caution. Militarizing and bolstering their trademark 60's experimentation to answer their latest questions and drop the nets even further in the ocean of popular musical idiom, all that c&w, jazz, and bossa nova turning to a golden brown macronage in Hamburg. Kreutzman costume party of different laughs and shrugs of emphasis lending this pentatonic ambience narrative swells of imagination. knight in shining armor of a feelin' groovy, this one slowly boils the pot over to Tighten up-adjacent before pulling out the rug to hard Santana-kissed space. Blurring everything. the oneness. this ds is a palindrome of approaches, post-verse with arguably even more psychotic interjection-based work from all bridging with mature complexity back to intuitive sailin'-bird-cryin' funk. Painterly, contemplative and pastoral yet teeming with unheard impulses and a frantic contradictory mania.

anyone have any favorite dead podcasts? ideally ones where they get into specific versions, almost music analysis? (Gave the "36 from the vault" a try, it's a couple guys from The Rock Press who don't really know their shit about the dead, for example could only think of 5/8/77 when getting into talking about a scarlet fire, are not Tennessee jed-pilled, bob blues-pilled, etc but they have a lot of good cultural context filler)
