Footnotes

Helicopters - A surprisingly fleshed out 2001 version with two distinct themes. The first is an introspective atmospheric journey while the second is more energetic and Barber-dominated, but both are anchored by a rapid beat and thundering bass.

7-11 - Definitive fall 01 trance. Magner delivers some ferocious trance themes before the jam settles into more melancholy territory and segues into Shem-Rah Boo.

Shem-Rah Boo - Mournful trance builds to a driving guitar-led rock theme before reaching the characteristic Shem-Rah peak in one of the strongest versions of the year.

Spacebirdmatingcall - Another 20+ minute behemoth version from fall 01. The first half is mostly atmospheric exploration, but the second has a truly haunting theme that builds to a triumphant ending.
