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

short but it rules. God their sound from 89 on is so fucking WEIRD and shiny and cool. No music sounds quite like this. this suite is always guided by what the drummers are doing and they don't disappoint. A cymbal-heavy performance on this one leaves lots of room for phil to do a walkabout and Healy and brent to get going. No-nonsense public access jingle Franklin's.

fabulous one. Exquisite starlight, swooshy bob, powerful inspiration section, Breezy gliding plinkatron funk jam. LOTS of midi.
