Jigsaw Earth > Sound One
Excellent, playful full-band jamming with a strong Barber undercurrent. It reaches a mild crescendo, breaks down, builds up to a more energetic and Magner-dominated crescendo, and finally breaks down again and segues gently into Sound 1.

Sound One > Jigsaw EarthStory of the World
A dub jam finds its way into a mellow space until Jon latches onto a menacing line. After a few runs through, the rest of the band locks in and they head into sinister but bouncy territory taking this jam into dark uncharted waters and finally back into the end of Jigsaw.

Vassillios > Jigsaw EarthSpaga
The trance jam begins with a feather light, airy trance theme from Magner, and is pushed forward by an excellent Barber/Sammy cooperation. It builds to an absolutely furious peak before returning to the chase section.

The main jam (after the first chase section) emerges normally, but soon breaks down into a sinister cacophony. This section is short-lived but wildly experimental.

The actual segue into the first “Dublights” isn’t much, but the jam between the chase sections is one of the most interesting explorations of Jigsaw territory yet. Expansive and atmospheric breakbeats yield to a breakdown with Magner going off on a kind of marimba effect.

completes 4/13 version.
2001 Jigsaws were a bit of a step down from the fall 2000 versions (in my estimation), but this short, spacey dub jam (beginning around the 4 minute mark) highlights the strength of these 2001 versions. Great Magner atmosphere followed by an explosive finale.

While both jams are excellent, it is the dub jam that is far more interesting. The lively take on this section is more energetic than typical, dominated by inspired Barber shredding that builds to a monstrous uncomposed peak.

The first really significant Jigsaw trance jam, and the beginning of the song’s golden age. It is considerably more fleshed out and thematic than previous versions, and it builds to a thrilling uncomposed peak.

Floes > Jigsaw Earth > Floes
The Jigsaw outro is based around the intro/ending riff, which quickly breaks down into structureless noise. Sammy begins to rebuild the thunderous drumming typical of a Floes ending and Barber plays a few pleasant noodling riffs. Magner soon reenters the picture, and pretty soon the jam has taken on a surreal symphonic quality as it builds to the Floes ending.
