Antarctic expedition of an NFA. probing, menacing work from all, pummeling Tiger jams and fusiony growling, Mickey and phil blowing it all to shreds

In the ship slot. Tones are purring in delight, brent and devils laying it in with goopy dark acrylic authority. Sings w/resonance, deep spectral lite

.... best of the year? Autobahn billy and jer and keith locking into some mystical lyre-picking for phil and donna to channel hunter's almost-antipathic worldview for the composer himself to use what the last 5 years had taught him so beautifully.. it infuses hope to the endlessly-shifting modality of the way hunter would specify the turn of phrase in "believe it if you need it" - somehow embracing and rejecting spirituality at once - it's all so naturally involved with an effortless higher being of consciousness afforded with certified good ole membership

.... doesn't get headier, blotted out sequence, gorgeous tighten up/eyes-ish jam gives way to freaky chemical feelin groovy/sugar mag hybrid a "shall we go" harmony, something here, there, everything twinkles into a fairylight eternity in a blink's time,then stephen rears his prophetic head in the floodlights. is there an evil forever silenced if only the lights are switched on them?
Dark Star

Capitol Theatre

A moving experience, so close to being lost forever yet saved from the abyss by Ken and judy, this magical version is so jazzy lush and transcendent, fuck yes. Glowing with a primordial state of infinite transition, constellation undulating across millenia of time and light, revealed to us in but an image, a film of existence
