Not sure if a good source was out there for this one pre-internet, Smith/Miller/Clugston cleanup is fantastic. Yeah this one can hang with any of the heavy hitter DS's. Winterland magic, this one propels itself into orbit with vigor. Pre-verse gets a little puddly with some indian influences and drones from all, left to simmer over Billy getting funkmeister, dials in for a great peak. The melt has truly primordial intensity, countered by a sense of tender meditation. not for chompers. Snakes start talking by the end of this shit.
