Moments Worth Listening For
The crackling silence and soft tape hiss that precedes the first mention of George Martin
A sudden, brief melodic fragment on a piano that dissolves into a story about Michael Jackson
The rhythmic pacing of the final track where the background noise swells into a gentle drone
