Magner is thoroughly in control of this jam, and his synth choices come through beautifully on the master. Around 7:15 he links up perfectly with Barber, and the theme they craft culminates in possibly the best Trooper intro ever.

A somber atmospheric jam augmented by a fantastic sound profile from Magner. Some classical piano yields to atmospheric trance in the first minutes. There is some excellent theme-building but nothing out of the ordinary for a Trooper jam until around 7:30 when Magner begins to creep in with the staccato “rabbit hole” synths. The jam takes on the quality of a trip through a haunted forest. At the 11 minute mark Magner breaks out the choir of angels patch and the trance synths. The jam sounds like it’s heading back towards Trooper until the final minute when it breaks for the Helicopters ending.
