Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in 'Storm' where the bright, hopeful brass gives way to a crushing wall of minor-key distortion
The 'Coney Island' monologue in 'Sleep' where the music swells behind the elderly man's memories of a lost world
The terrifying build-up of radio static and preacher-like voices that precedes the explosion of sound in 'Static'
