Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

It Must Have Been The Roses

Rinky dink welnik synth jostles with hornsby for room amid a good ole toad-in-the-gas-pipe lead vocal. Headiest passionate delivery, heartstrings country last round rallying cry!!

it's 31 minutes and much of it, rather than just straight up zaniness, is going for a drone sound art thing. rich resonant tones and blissfully self-contained. when cyberjazz does emerge it's moody and frothy.

Just wonderful, luscious vocals, ascendant lead work, spider web coda.
