Track Notes

• S1

  Hot Air Balloon

  After a few minutes of standard shredding, the jam breaks down into a somewhat predictable HAB groove, expansive and atmospheric. It becomes really interesting, however, when Sammy completely breaks down the tempo, and the jam spends several minutes building its way back up into a Plan B intro.

• S1

  Shelby Rose

  Another powerful standalone dnb vehicle. Barber forms the foundation of the first half of the jam and Magner takes control in the second half. Sammy’s shift in tempo is accompanied by a key change from Magner, and the transition into the ending is smoothly executed.

• S1

  Confrontation

  An expansive trance jam that settles into a hypnotic groove. Magner holds down his theme all the way through the jam as Barber takes on a more prominent role and shifts back into Hot Air Balloon.

• S2

  Crickets

  The Crickets trance jam immediately gets into sinister territory and explores a type two theme before building up to a fantastic Confrontation peak.

• S2

  The Unspoken Rhyme

  The first half of the jam is solid, if a bit restrained, but the second half, in which Magner takes the reins, is excellent and explosive.
