Eerie. this jerry-driven version is mired in the paranoia of imminent doom with the wink of cyberjazz. Reaches a to1-esque crater of solemn peace.

yet another symphonic slammer. Deeply meant.

First rate. Excellent group blend, they're ready for the fireworks of the two years to follow

80s are a goldmine for LLR's, this one wirey, lustrous and cinematic.

welcome wink of a heel-diggingly true pure rendering. Spiky and down home like jerry and hunter's best evocations of timeless tribulation and delitez.

This one comes straight out and howls. Instead of the words that usually come up for this one with me such as "punishing" or "plinky" this one has Springsteen or u2 superhero scale, just screams with post-punk abandon!!! Sleeper hit. The welnick era textures make the early 80's dead sound like they're playing in a small club by comparison, I mean it as a high compliment to the virtues, traits and specifities of both decades. Anyway yeah this one conjures orc battles and elven harvest duels and ambushes

Explosive firecracker 2-keyboard form. This one scratches the itch, weir hums and grinds, hornsby soothes, rosebud paints a van gogh. many nice dates from the first half of 91.

Doesn't get far off the ground compared to similar versions but the sound is there
