Moments Worth Listening For
The way the bassline in Just Another Story mutates over nine minutes from a tight groove into a sprawling jazz exploration.
The haunting, hollow didgeridoo drone that opens Journey to Arnhemland, grounding the space-age funk in something ancient.
The effortless transition into the breezy, Rhodes-led chorus of Morning Glory that feels like a literal sunrise.
