Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the hushed, trembling spoken word of the opening track into the vast, eleven-minute warm synth wash of Psalm Instrumental.

The sudden, chilling intimacy of Cave's close-mic whisper on Have Mercy on Me, where you can hear the physical catch in his throat.

The swelling, angelic choral backing that rises like a column of light behind the stark poetry of Splendour, Glorious Splendour.
