the feeling on this rich, blue-hot hornsby one is that of exquisite elegance in that puffed-up mindless sense

bill and mick dip their toes into a dozen things, keeping their turntablism abreast of the breathing tree of life. Sensational stuff. Continued

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.

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.
