Track Notes

• S2

  The Unspoken Rhyme

  Subverting expectations, the Rhyme jam begins as a steady rock groove rather than traditional dnb. The jam starts off poppy and blissful, before building to a crescendo and dropping into M.E.M.P.H.I.S.

• S2

  Mr. Don

  Sammy’s drum beat remains the only real constant, never straying too far from Don, but the rest of the band move through a variety of moods and themes, at first tense and uncertain, then moody, then more triumphant. The jam seems to be heading toward a massive Run Like Hell ending until Barber suddenly signals the segue into Helicopters.

• E1

  I-Man

  The jam builds up to a triumphant trance crescendo that breaks down into an eerie soundscape. Magner uses the flute patch concurrently with his drone synths to a pretty neat effect. The jam continues further into spooky territory as Magner begins using a demonic vocoder effect, and the jam steadily builds to a haunting crescendo as it reaches Shimmy territory.
