The Morph jam to begin the show is generic, meandering funk. Skip. Both Spaga jams are exactly what you’d expect, not necessarily in a good way. The Ladies jam is fine, and the jam into Magellan uses a neat concept, but some of the play is absolutely awful from Barber here. Exodus and the jam out into Astronaut are both mostly forgettable.
Dribble first jam is actually not half-bad. I am normally not a fan of this jam, but this one has a really nice groove that I think works well. The second jam here has serious Blissco vibes. I like this a lot. Neither Crickets jam does much for me. The Spectacle intro is 7 minutes or so, and I’m usually a sucker for this intro jam. This isn’t a particularly amazing version, but I still enjoy it. Basis intro is way too short, and way too uninteresting. The Basis jam into Ladies is fine. There were parts of this I enjoyed, but mostly it’s forgettable. Hope encore is standard.
Highlights: Dribble (1, 2*), Spectacle
