Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the spoken word section of Rave On, John Donne where the music swells into a literary invocation.
The bright, melodic saxophone hook on Celtic Swing that feels like a sunburst through Irish clouds.
The way the synthesizers on the title track mimic the movement of water against a shore.
