Moments Worth Listening For

The brittle, skeletal synth line on 'I Am the Center of Your World' that feels like it might snap under the weight of the vocals.

Jamie Stewart's voice trembling into a near-whisper during the closing cover of New Order's 'Ceremony', stripping the original of its post-punk drive.

The sudden, jarring bursts of percussive noise that interrupt the otherwise fragile melodic structure of 'Ten-Thousand-Times-a-Minute'.
