Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the William Blake poetry on track 9 where the music swells to meet the spoken word
The rhythmic, repetitive vocal delivery on track 1 that mimics the writer's block it describes
The way the saxophone weaves around the piano melody on the title track's instrumental passages
