Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic descending glissando that opens Pipeline, instantly setting the high-water mark for surf guitar.
The transition into the moody, minor-key melody of The Ninth Wave that suggests the danger of the deep ocean.
The way the lead guitar mimics the swell of a tide on The Lonely Sea, trading energy for a haunting, atmospheric stillness.
