Moments Worth Listening For
The dizzying transition in 'Mayte' where the arrangement explodes into a massive, multi-tracked operatic choir.
The nostalgic, beautifully isolated piano introduction of 'Bonen Hood' that carries a melody written in childhood.
The unexpected integration of flamenco-tinged guitar flourishes and accordion on 'A Night in Spain'.
