Footnotes
Run Like Hell - After several exploratory mid-verse jams in the fall, Run Like Hell is finally segued out of the mid-verse jam. The jam is pretty and forceful, a Magner-led trance jaunt that builds to a huge Barber peak into Helicopters.
Little Shimmy in a Conga Line - Simultaneously playful and restrained, the Shimmy trance breaks down into a rollicking Ladies intro.
Sound One - Haunting digital trance in the vein of Sound 1, a furious percussive breakdown, and a sinister build into Shimmy. Absolutely 100% evil the entire way through.
Shelby Rose - More ambient and atmospheric in the first minutes than the typical Shelby Rose jam. Sammy teases a potential segue into 4xfloor trance, but quickly reverts to breakbeats. The rest of the jam is fairly standard.
