Reactor > Sven is okay. The first few minutes are somewhat promising, but as they get close to Sven I lost all interest here. Starting at the 4:48 mark in Sven, there is a phenomenal ambient psychedelic jam. I don’t even really care that this is super short. I love it. This is awesome. The Abraxas jam is interesting, and they have a great angel choir thing going on. I’ll note this as a highlight even though this was extremely uneven. The Sven jam has some interesting parts, but again, uneven, and they totally botch the transition into Mindless Dribble. Nothing in either Dribble or the Confro jam does anything for me.

Caterpillar is mostly filler, and obviously WIS is jamless. Floodlights has an okay jam that leads into an awkward drop into Basis. The second Basis jam is very nice. This is sort of straddling the line between dance jam and Blissco. I’m okay with it. Spraypaint doesn’t do much before it transitions into the Reactor ending. Home Again is alright. Story encore is generic “funk.” Meh.

Highlights: Sven (1**), Abraxas, Basis (2)
