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

NFA gets cooking back into spaciness and plucked wheel out of thin air to revelations of spiritual ascension and guileless theft and constant mindful presence, the knowingness of becoming. Fretboards are spun anew leading to rainbows and treasuries of hymnally worry-free grace that the harmonic structure affords, positioning it for notes of distinct party and pleasure when compared to other post-spacers like stella or TOO

Goes the distance, haunted house of monster grooves.

really nice lulls and crannies in this classically minded version, visionary reading from a pocket of parenthetical wisdom paired with innocent boyish longing. Brent rips
