Embryonic, unhinged and primal! Tiger lead is positively lacerating, everyone in attendance was split into dust

This one comes straight out and howls. Instead of the words that usually come up for this one with me such as "punishing" or "plinky" this one has Springsteen or u2 superhero scale, just screams with post-punk abandon!!! Sleeper hit. The welnick era textures make the early 80's dead sound like they're playing in a small club by comparison, I mean it as a high compliment to the virtues, traits and specifities of both decades. Anyway yeah this one conjures orc battles and elven harvest duels and ambushes

Explosive firecracker 2-keyboard form. This one scratches the itch, weir hums and grinds, hornsby soothes, rosebud paints a van gogh. many nice dates from the first half of 91.

Doesn't get far off the ground compared to similar versions but the sound is there
