Great write-up, @lumpblockclod.

My nomination for segue of the year (which I have hyped here and there in the forum):
SPAC 7.7.2012 Golden Age -> 2001.

There's a key change in the GA jam at about 5:43 LP time and that is where they start setting it up - mostly Page with the textures. For the next 1:15 is like a subtle cross-fade to the point where it kinda sounds like a 2001-esque jam, and then bam, there it is.

For me, not even close. My favorite segue of the year by far.
