Footnotes

Nughuffer - The jam begins as standard Nughuffer trance but gradually gives way to an eerie theme dominated by Magner's droning synths. The backbone of this theme remains relatively unchanged as it builds to a terrific crescendo that breaks down heading to the famous "Worcester Jam"

Worcester Jam - Magner's droning synths give the Worcester jam some continuity from the preceding Nughuffer jam. Here they no longer sound sinister, but uplifting, and Barber's distinct guitar riffs add to this atmosphere. After some exploration, Barber settles into a distinct (and vaguely dubby) theme around the three minute mark that carries through the rest of the jam. In the final minutes of this jam, the theme gradually picks up speed for an impressive segue into Mindless Dribble
