Moments Worth Listening For

The way the synthesized horns mimic the original Dexys Midnight Runners melody on Come On Eileen but with a rigid dance beat.

The transition into a laid-back reggae rhythm during the chorus of Sunshine Reggae.

The unexpected lounge-pop smoothness applied to Sade's Smooth Operator, turning it into a light dance floor filler.
