Moments Worth Listening For
The ten-minute title track building from a fragile piano motif into a soaring, life-affirming guitar solo.
The rhythmic, hypnotic pulse of This Train Is My Life creating a sense of constant, melancholic motion.
The sudden, jarring shift into psychedelic experimentation during The Man From the Planet Marzipan.
