Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition in 'Darkness' where whisper-quiet verses are obliterated by distorted industrial noise.
The Blind Boys of Alabama rising like a spectral tide during the climax of 'Sky Blue'.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's posthumous vocal soaring over the orchestral swell of 'Signal to Noise'.
