Footnotes
Chemical Warfare Brigade - The first split version. The blissful solo quickly turns melancholy as Sammy lays down a House beat. Magner develops an absolutely haunting theme that carries through most of this jam, which maintains its eerie and somber atmosphere throughout. Right at the track switch, Sammy and Brownie adroitly shift the tempo toward a Down to the Bottom intro.
Down to the Bottom - Takes a little while to get going, but it develops a very cool theme after several minutes. The band builds up a profoundly psychedelic trance jam to a rocking crescendo that comes crashing into the debut of Floodlights.
Floodlights - A tense minimalist jam that treads water briefly before taking on a life of its own. The jam settles into a very pleasant groove that builds over the next several minutes. It doesn’t peak so much as it crests a mellow wave, building up to a Barber heavy crescendo before an expert transition into the middle of Hot Air Balloon.
Hope - Pure unadulterated Bisco crack. The Hope jam is separately tracked as “Basis jam” on some sources, and it certainly has a distinct flavor: fist-pumping triumphant trance builds to a spectacular Run Like Hell ending.
