Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the Hans Zimmer choral sample into the bright acoustic strumming of track 1

The intricate, interlocking guitar riff that anchors the five-minute sprawl of Harmony Hall

The sudden, frantic flamenco-style handclaps and percussion that ignite the middle of Sympathy
