Moments Worth Listening For
The meta-opening where a needle drops on their own previous hit before being interrupted by a command to listen.
The disorienting eight-minute sprawl of 'Take a Stroll Thru Your Mind' where the group fully dissolves into the soundscape.
The aggressive stereo-panning on the title track that physically pulls the listener's attention across the room.
