Footnotes

The Very Moon - Brownstein sticks close to the Very Moon bass line, but Magner begins to push the boundaries of type one very early on. By the fourteen minute mark the band locks into a great type two trance passage. This theme breaks down around the nineteen minute mark and dissolves into gorgeous ambience for a great segue into Voices.

Above the Waves - This one hits you like a freight train. After some more-or-less aimless exploration, the band settles into a great theme by the eight minute mark. The jam builds in intensity in such a chaotic way that it's almost hard to believe the band can keep control of it. The peak is extremely lively, especially for a winter 1999 version.
