this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

massively underrated. Sound quality is stunning on Charlie Miller's transfer. simmers for a while in jungle fusion land, the four-limbed beast going strong. Keith's Moog is totally wack job. Goes into some Spanish Jam esque stuff. this is for sure an overlooked PITB that shows that the tune still had some mileage after the one-drummer years.
