Voices had been steadily incorporating longer atmospheric jams since fall 1999, and this is a culmination of that progression.

Experimental and mellow, the jam has two distinct themes and peaks before settling into the Floes intro.

The legendary jam drops instantly into a type two dub theme, replete with eerie vocal samples and mournful guitar riffs. The pace steadily quickens as the jam builds to a spectacular major key crescendo. Barber delivers some gorgeous riffs, and Brownstein’s pounding bass line (reminiscent at moments of a Confrontation ending) pervade the jam. After an uncomposed peak, the jam strips down to minimalist trance: a few simple riffs from Barber and Magner over Sammy’s simple trance beat and Brownstein’s dubby bass riff. The jam yields another thrilling build, this one culminating in the Jigsaw chase section.

Playful, “pirate funk” dub jamming. The jam builds to a symphonic crescendo and in the ensuing minutes devolves into chaos, segueing into a ferocious Dribble ending.

The jam launches into a spectacular theme immediately. Magner’s work on the piano is absolutely haunting, and he is complemented by some creepy and vaguely atonal riffs from Barber and, soon, some vocal samples from Brownstein. This segment is woefully short-lived, however, and it breaks down shortly thereafter. The jam that builds up from here is sinister as well, building up to a well-executed fall 2000 trance vehicle and culminating in another Jigsaw chase section.
