Moments Worth Listening For
The infectious, rhythmic shuffle of the electric guitar riff that opens Give Me One Reason.
The haunting entry of the Scottish small pipes on the title track, grounding the folk sound in ancient soil.
The way the cello and violin swell behind the vocal on The Promise, creating a deep sense of commitment.
The stark, rhythmic intensity of the didjeridu on The Rape of the World providing a primal foundation.
