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

maniac halloween 85 set 1 opener. not actually that good as a space but its excellent as a gesture and as intro to a casual jambalaya werewolves.

Meaty with lots of surging tidal foam and architectural energy of protective shell domes encompassing the subways. pouring out the room, overall this one gets a good midi tone workout with a rare unique disco-ish mind left body quote
