totally agree with your sentiments. |
So do I. 8ball has this uplifting kind of melancholy that makes me a little sad but at the end always leaves me, as was said here before, "... happy".

probably the best ever live version of Rez. |
The best performance of any track, live or studio, ever. (Yes, even better than Katjes.)
