the feeling on this rich, blue-hot hornsby one is that of exquisite elegance in that puffed-up mindless sense

bill and mick dip their toes into a dozen things, keeping their turntablism abreast of the breathing tree of life. Sensational stuff. Continued

Strap on the goggles and microscopes to find traces of this in jerry's playing as soon as the intro dies down into a no nonsense sparkplug wheel

short but it rules. God their sound from 89 on is so fucking WEIRD and shiny and cool. No music sounds quite like this. this suite is always guided by what the drummers are doing and they don't disappoint. A cymbal-heavy performance on this one leaves lots of room for phil to do a walkabout and Healy and brent to get going. No-nonsense public access jingle Franklin's.
