Footnotes
The Very Moon - Though the main jam doesn’t go deep into type two like the spring versions, it has a lovely and patient theme.
The funk jam settles into mid-tempo trance almost immediately, and explores this theme for a while before dropping the tempo for a powerful Run Like Hell intro.
Run Like Hell - The mid-verse jam is sparse and sinister, and very out of the ordinary. The tempo changes and the band briefly explores a demented groove. Short, but very worth hearing.
The main jam reaches a sinister theme and yields a massive Run Like Hell peak.
Crickets - Absolutely brain-melting, breakneck trance. A short jam, but an absolute firecracker.
Shelby Rose - Thematically gorgeous, and focused pretty much right from the start. Yields what is, to me, undeniably the greatest Crickets peak of all time. Must hear.
