Eerie. this jerry-driven version is mired in the paranoia of imminent doom with the wink of cyberjazz. Reaches a to1-esque crater of solemn peace.

yet another symphonic slammer. Deeply meant.

First rate. Excellent group blend, they're ready for the fireworks of the two years to follow

80s are a goldmine for LLR's, this one wirey, lustrous and cinematic.

welcome wink of a heel-diggingly true pure rendering. Spiky and down home like jerry and hunter's best evocations of timeless tribulation and delitez.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
June 27, 1985

Every note of this raging sensei master class show contributes a nice take on the song herein. This is no exception, Weir's excuse to add a doppelganger for Iko iko though it may be, it's party time with an emergency landing GDTRFB that blossoms into this fantastically deep and rich Woman smarter. Home run version.

truth right there, less than 4 minutes marx brothers pogo and stilts audition for praising the lord. Route 6 answer to passin around some doobies in the barn, plugging in and wrecking shop for an hour or three.

Stranger>eyes!! It's beautiful moonlit flocks of gliding geese, it's tribal and it rules. Staggered pointilistic texture, raving double time devils and frantic jazzy comping from all make for a millefoglie with notes of shire-side smoke ring. The young ospreys making it through the elements to new families and promises of wholeness. Underrated beautifully easy version, not too speedy, still spine crunching in its ways of soft lush refreshment!!! Picasso gorgeous tiger peaks around 5 mins
Feel Like A Stranger

this one is subtle... Everyone stretching out, fountainous Weir rap, wispy rattling synth work, tectonic Lesh shifting... More jazzy than the hard-hitting funk ragers that pepper the first two or three pages of the ranking. Devils take off while keepin it all hangin out, narcoleptic but self-constitutional. Nice modal stillness flow.

no prisoners. Scorching. If i'm able to dance, i'll crawl cross it.
