Footnotes

Spaga - After very standard first and second jams, the outro catapults the listener into outer space. Barber locks into a complementary theme almost immediately, and filters it through a cool “underwater” effect.

Shem-Rah Boo - The apex of all MOTH MOTY jams. Just about all of the 01 versions are worth hearing, but this inverted version takes the patient theme construction to an entirely new level. Barber fans should absolutely not miss this.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a - The jam begins in typical Humu bliss but shifts toward a melancholy theme a few minutes in. The theme is solid, but the blissful return to Humu territory is the main attraction.

Hope - A characteristically strong spring 01 version, it explores a tense, dub passage before returning to the triumphant ending.

And the Ladies Were the Rest of the Night - A pretty standard version, but for a sinister, spacey breakdown in the middle.
