Jazzy, speedy and energetic...but don't let the grimey SQ deter you...this is worth it!

Manor Downs

Mournful and Triumphant all at once. A mind-crushing outro by JG...best of the '70s IMO.

I first heard this version on the 'So Many Roads' box set. About as experimental and downright scary as this band could get in the late '80s...
