Footnotes
Little Betty Boop - Jammed out of the first section, which is less intense than usual. Lighthearted mellow trance breaks down into a gorgeous and spacey groove going into Jigsaw.
Jigsaw Earth - The first really significant Jigsaw trance jam, and the beginning of the song’s golden age. It is considerably more fleshed out and thematic than previous versions, and it builds to a thrilling uncomposed peak.
Vassillios - The perfect example of what a Vassilios jam should sound like, this slow building trance vehicle sounds downright evil before the fist pumping transition into Boop.
Floes - The jam begins with Magner on the vocoder and some gorgeous riffs form Barber based around repeating series of triplets, all over Sammy’s thunderous percussion. Barber takes a step out of the box, and then returns to the same theme, building upon it as the band slowly shifts away from the bliss territory of Floes towards the more sinister Jigsaw.
Jigsaw Earth - The Jigsaw outro is based around the intro/ending riff, which quickly breaks down into structureless noise. Sammy begins to rebuild the thunderous drumming typical of a Floes ending and Barber plays a few pleasant noodling riffs. Magner soon reenters the picture, and pretty soon the jam has taken on a surreal symphonic quality as it builds to the Floes ending.
