My first show and I'm forever changed.

Start it off with The Chase, and you know it'll be good.
Vocals are nice and clear, still obscure, but out front - That's a real plus.

Puppetry gets real deep, dark, swirly - in that zone that sounds like it might get scary - reverbed out, and far away - a minor zone - no noodles, just threads of space. It's nice to hear them hit that post jam ascending triplet theme, and then space back out again, a little heavier, a bit more discordant. That's what a good jam is all about. Make it freakin' weird.
The way the band hits this jam, it reminds me of the way Pat Martino's band would start firing together, like in the tune Sunny - just interject that bop language with charging psychedelia.

That's what I like so much about this band - It's like remembering something that I'm hearing for the first time - you can tell where these guys are coming from, and at the same time we can all enjoy their journey to where they're going.
Haven't dug a band this much in a long, long time.

Enjoy it-

This was my first PB show and I was quite impressed, this is a good place to start with the band as of this writing (8/8/2003)...I just got home from the Toad's 8/7/2003 show and if you ever see that one available, jump on it! These guys are unbelievably talented and will soon be going places...watch out!! Kev PS: Fabulous matrix mix, sounds great.
