Footnotes

Hope - Another gold-standard spring 01 Hope, on par with 3/31. Excellent, relaxed dnb that eventually yields a glorious, Barber-led finale.

Pygmy Twylyte - Patient four-on-the-floor jamming that moves from pleasant bliss to more determined melancholia. Excellent minor-key crescendo before a strong segue into Vassilios.

Crickets - After a steady and blissful start, the jam builds through some almost tense territory to a cacophony before reaching the glorious Confro peak.

Jigsaw Earth - 2001 Jigsaws were a bit of a step down from the fall 2000 versions (in my estimation), but this short, spacey dub jam (beginning around the 4 minute mark) highlights the strength of these 2001 versions. Great Magner atmosphere followed by an explosive finale. The rare Jigsaw outro settles into blissful, Hope-esque jamming before building up to the Munchkin ending.
