Footnotes
Grass Is Green - The rare Grass is Green outro finds a life of its own before Sammy kicks up the tempo and introduces the breakbeats, from which point an excellent Svenghali intro develops.
Svenghali - In an era positively overflowing with excellent dnb jams, this one still manages to stand out as one of the best, and for good reason. There are two distinct themes, the first a more traditional dark dnb build and the second a more experimental vehicle.
The Overture - A pretty standard dnb vehicle until Sammy begins to signal the transition into Crickets. A masterfully executed segue into Crickets develops.
Crickets - Perhaps the first important Crickets first jam. The jam weaves in and out of the Crickets theme, never venturing too far outside of it, but beginning to push the envelope a bit, until Magner delivers a decisive synth line at 12:30 to signal the move towards the peak.
