Moments Worth Listening For
The extended, hypnotic percussion breakdown in People Everywhere ii that stretches the groove into a trance-like state.
The way the guitar melody in White Gloves ii feels more weathered and patient than the original, hanging in the air a second longer.
The transition into the deep, dub-heavy bass pocket during the final three minutes of Two Fish and an Elephant ii.
