Footnotes
I-Man - Atmospheric and moody, it hovers in a mellow space before turning towards bliss. Brownie begins introducing the Pygmy bass line, and the jam segues masterfully into Pygmy.
Pygmy Twylyte - The Pygmy jam locks into a focused trance theme immediately. It begins to break down, with some breakbeat flourishes from Sammy and droning synths. It settles into a theme characterized by a mellow passage from Magner underscored by thunderous percussion from Sammy. This theme melts into the middle of I-Man for an excellent transition.
The Very Moon - The first jam breaks down completely into tense, spacey territory with melancholy Magner synths and Barber strumming. As Sammy and Brownie return to Very Moon territory, Magner and Barber craft a mellow trance theme, and the rhythm section ebbs and flows in and out of type one territory while the melody remains largely type two. As the jam begins to creep back into familiar territory, Barber delivers a monster of a peak.
Munchkin Invasion - The jam begins as blissful trance but quickly shifts toward more tense territory. The band crafts an excellent theme in this dark space before returning to a powerful Munchkin ending.
