Wet is jamless to start. Sven > Oveture > Sven looks incredibly boring to me on paper. The jam out of Sven has some parts that I didn’t hate, but overall this was forgettable. The jam out of Overture swaps between half-time and regular time, but other than that this does nothing for me either. The Story jam is mostly filler before an obvious I-Man intro jam which lasts way too long for me. The I-Man jam is just okay. I-Man is left unfinished, and the jam out of the 2nd-to-last section gets a little dark, dissonant, and Barber has some interesting psychedelic guitarwork here. This develops into a rather lovely little piece of Blissco that goes nicely into the ending of Story.

Reactor > Crix middle is exactly what you would expect. The jam out of Crickets winds up with this odd, midtempo repeater jam, which I couldn’t care less about. The segue into Bazaar is pretty neat, however. The jam out of Bazaar turns into a neat little downtempo jam that I enjoyed. Last Crix > Reactor is, again, exactly what you would expect. Therapy is jamless.

Highlights: I-Man (2*), Bazaar
