Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track builds from a fragile piano melody into a pulsing, theatrical plea for more life.
The rhythmic shift in Morena de Angola where the percussion takes on a sharper, more driving edge.
The delicate, almost breathless flute accompaniment that weaves through the short, haunting Mar e lua.
