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

Jerry sounds incredible.

extremely fast, devils nearly going off the rails but the chaos makes it more beautiful. ethereally gorgeous synth work from brent. soaring jerry and crazy midi. All in all definitely a big eyesie, more than goodish this Seurat-esque version foreshadows the tribal ambient manifestos to come
