Moments Worth Listening For
The ten-minute improvisational journey of Devil's Sweet where the brass section dissolves into avant-garde textures.
The Beach Boys' unmistakable vocal harmonies elevating the bridge of Wishing You Were Here.
Terry Kath's delicate, introspective guitar work on Byblos providing a stark contrast to the band's usual brass-heavy sound.
