Five star drums into the spherical laser color cavern of delicate chamber electronic improv, magnetic madness

Spectacularly drunken entrance to this lean mean blue hot 93 Truckin with plenty of chonky chaw! Five alarm version, stellar concert.

Latter day gem that might be a surrogate memory of peter gabriel solsbury hill. Phil sings and jerry comes alive. sophisticated, breezy, and killing.

There are definitely cooler and more seamless melts from estimated but this combo is so classic and strong that chances of you giving a shit are 0%, great to hear the tune still not speedy and there's some imaginative choices on this one in terms of rhythmic grid emphasis and chord voicings, sometimes quite open and folksy then getting into some of those more block/cluster chords creating little pockets of tension in the scope of the thing, and then also lots of just rocking out in, again, that rock star party time 78 feeling/mindset
