Footnotes

Pygmy Twylyte - Driving trance that quickly leaves behind the distinct rhythm of Pygmy and heads for four-on-the-floor territory. It settles down, gradually, into a blissful and expansive jam that yields a smooth Aceetobee intro. Gorgeous riffs from Barber.

The Very Moon - The absolute gold standard of unbroken Very Moon first jams. It departs Very Moon territory for a drawn-out and extremely tense theme, gradually building (first chaotically and then triumphantly) back to The Very Moon. In the funk jam, a brisk tempo and Magner’s “I Want Your Sex” vocal teases spice up this well-worn pairing.

Munchkin Invasion - Arguably marks the beginning of a really strong period for Munchkin, where it is given the B&C treatment—i.e., every version is given a sinister theme before returning to type one territory. This is an especially strong version.
