Moments Worth Listening For
The twenty-minute opening track where Kathleen Turner's gravelly voice intertwines with shimmering synth pads.
The rhythmic, almost mechanical pulse of Alchemy of Straw that mimics the spinning of gold.
The triumphant melodic resolution in A Mother's Triumph that closes the narrative arc with warmth.
