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.

sits low, and why? This is a must hear---galaxies of relentlessly searching craters and lacerating pinch technique and screwball jazzy lines, a soaring JG entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebk7DsxfSrU fresh hazard the goat strikes back

reaaaallly interesting stuff, the date checks out for a genius version. sifts and weaves through mysteriously brooding simmering soundscapes, broad planes of modal tonal happiness and groovemeister intuition, every stroke, hell even the little ones between is right where it's supposed to be. Permission is granted for each explosively satisfying development in dynamic, rhythmic emphasis, harmonic scales or roots. The puddle is tonal and it's a spanish proto wall-of-sound cryer. Returns to tasty mellow jazz with exceptional keith wah-wah work. The music of the earth's core and the cosmos colliding..
