Footnotes
Pygmy Twylyte - Introspective trance gradually yields to the playful dub of the first middle only 7-11. The jam is great; the transition is perhaps even better.
7-11 - Fast-paced trance descends into mellow ambience and segues into Spacebird.
Spacebirdmatingcall - Another monster September 01 version. The first theme is solid and features some great Magner work, but shortly before the ending it breaks down into more abrasive and challenging jamming.
Sound One - The fan-favorite version sees Magner take the lead early on and deliver a very memorable hook. Barber gradually wrests control and steers the jam to a strong peak.
Basis for a Day - Pure melancholic trance until Sammy kicks up the tempo and shifts to dnb.
Aquatic Ape - Though it takes a while to get there, the final theme before the shift to major key territory—and the Basis peak itself—are both spectacular.
