Moments Worth Listening For

The unexpected arrival of a bluesy harmonica solo over synthetic pads in Lake of Pontchartrain.

The way the baritone vocals anchor the swirling arpeggios on the title-adjacent Mad Song.

The dense layering of flutes and acoustic guitars that opens Astrophel and Stella.
