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

Strap on the goggles and microscopes to find traces of this in jerry's playing as soon as the intro dies down into a no nonsense sparkplug wheel

indeed this one cooks!! Look out for trappings of desireless voids of spiring tentacling electronic experimentations in addition to stairways to glory. The proportions on this 84 ((that summer- think barband socratic trials of spacey uniquely delivered if not so much selected hard-edged gobblings in their sets, lots of folk and roots stuff)) predrums are maximally circadian with notes of pacific optimism rainbowing after days of storm, rieslings flowing. they land brooding and spectacular stirring the pot through a generous runtime for the era, limber and chasing dreams!! Psychy rivers to see go

first one after the greensboro Magna carta olympic gold eyesie. This one is special in its own right, the magic rubs off on this Orlando version's organically patient peaks and subtle tone shifts. Heartwarming pining syrupy jam sandwiching ambient ambitions and decorative garnishings of starkly adorned, artificially lit cinema. Petals blooming as timelapses of generations of species to scorche and rebirth the earth until the gods intervene. Juggles mariokart and classic tiger-style blissy glory with aplomb. It's terrific
