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

super hotttt No nonsense deep and shiny. Burrows into heavenly hot castles of twilight woolly distorted jazz, some quite bulging moments of controlled hysteria. Phil super involved. Satisfying twinkly reprise

mellow deal with mercury proggiee bluegrass soloing. Heaps of luscious goods

Really cooking one, they stretch and lasso it. Beautifully acrobatic and subtly transitional lesh. Swirling blend and fanning
