Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Locked in, staggered, shredding. fascinating ebb and flow of tonal gradation, the weaving of timbres like a circuit ride. Thumping and deep as a long althea or stranger would imbue the proceedings with funky robot.

Intense... lyrically, rhythmically, this one really gets there. punchy, theatrical and epic like all the best post-e72s!!!!!
