Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the gargantuan twenty-one minute finale where the rhythm dissolves into a pure shimmering drone

The way the sampled female vocals on Sussan 11 are chopped and echoed until they become a rhythmic instrument themselves

The sudden appearance of a deep, dub-inflected bassline that anchors the ethereal global melodies in a heavy physical space
