Footnotes
Above the Waves - Drawn out jamming with multiple distinct themes, including a Waves dub and a drawn out and developed Plums intro.
Svenghali - The jam begins with a fantastic, clean jungle theme. Barber’s playing grows increasingly chaotic over the backdrop of a Magner soundscape. The jam grows tenser until a breakdown, as Sammy’s beat transitions smoothly from jungle into a housey rock groove while Magner maintains continuity with his previous theme. The groove soon becomes distinctly more playful, not unlike a M.E.M.P.H.I.S. intro. Barber shifts to the muted distortion shortly afterward to great effect. It leaves this playful theme only in the final seconds of the track, building in tempo rapidly for the transition into Hot Air Balloon.
The Unspoken Rhyme - Magner crafts an excellent theme around the dnb rhythm that builds to a triumphant crescendo, which culminates as Sammy shifts the rhythm very suddenly to a trance beat for a somewhat jarring transition into Run Like Hell.
Run Like Hell - The jam out is a cacophonous trance jam that breaks down in the final minutes into what sounds distinctly like a Crater intro. From here the jam rebuilds into a bliss theme, building to a crescendo that culminates in a powerful Shimmy ending.
