Moments Worth Listening For
the sharp, metallic sting of the electric guitar solo cutting through the sitar drone on the title track
the ominous, repetitive bass groove of Season of the Witch creating a sense of mounting urban paranoia
the delicate harpsichord and woodwind interplay that elevates Legend of a Girl Child Linda into a storybook fantasy
