Footnotes
Floodlights - The jam breaks out of traditional Floodlights groove into untz territory around the 7 minute mark. The trance jam is melancholy at first, seems to move into I-Man territory, but then recedes into tense type two. It builds to the I-Man ending in a similar way to a typical Basis ending progression.
The Unspoken Rhyme - The last Unspoken Rhyme for almost 15 years is unconventional: it quickly sheds typical fast-paced dnb in favor of relaxed, hypnotic dub. Excellent atmosphere, and a cool Phish-y segue into Magellan to boot.
Munchkin Invasion - Pretty typical Munchkin energy until it starts to segue into Shelby. Excellent use of “controlled chaos” in the dnb section.
