Track Notes

• S1

  Bernstein and Chasnoff

  The jam begins with blissful guitar and piano work, but, like so many of the great early B&Cs, it begins to creep into minor key territory beginning shortly after the six minute mark. Over the 9-11 minute mark the jam builds to a tense crescendo highlighting the impressive interplay between Sammy and Barber that can only be described as controlled chaos. Around the twelve minute mark Sammy begins to introduce the Vassillios intro beat, and the rest of the jam is more or less a Vassillios intro jam. Barber manages to pull off an impressively energetic segue into Vassillios, something not at all common in 1999. An early version of the Svenghali intro riff can be heard at 16:30

  Vassillios

  A monolithic Magner-dominated trance jam emerges out of the Vassillios outro. Sinister themes pervade the jam until around the 14 minute mark, when Barber begins leading back into the bliss territory of B&C
