Continuing their capacity to surprise, Albany's "context collapse" comes when, exiting "Fuego" proper, Trey directly ignites another creative spark.
It's fun to hear a callback to "Jimmy .... Jimmy ...." playing as the band follows an impossibly cool, unprogrammed pattern. After the 9:00 mark, Mike offers an idea, and while the improv doesn't change direction, a slew of sonic sounds emerge, bathing the audience in bending musical 'modes' pleasantly atonal, much different from, yet similar to, a "modern" Melt. Listen to the run's "Mercury" for a completely inverse improvisational approach.
