yet another heavy duty Deal. This one is a still life watercolor. Patient, refined, excellent.

elastic, serpentine, walls of the cave smeared with battle stories hidden by shadows.

A post-space one. tender Berkeley love. A gust of "what just happened" curious joy.

triple shot of pure Jerry!! Great "a-ha" FOTM tease. Phil's boxing ring tone becomes the kick, brent's hot rhodes the drums, devils go artisanal baker

slept on this one! It smokes! this is a chainsmoker of a whisked, aromatic spicy crock-pot delight. Devils hit deep mellow groove immediately, canvas is perfect, everyone gets to work with angelic grace.

see above, medieval, cinematic, knights and fair maidens song delivery, dark psycho churning turtle jam

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.
