Moments Worth Listening For

The way the brass section punches through the chorus of the title track, lifting the mood instantly.

Marc Almond's dramatic, torch-song delivery on 'Tainted Love' reimagined as a big band swing number.

The percussive, rolling piano solo in 'Gipsy Rover' that reminds you why Holland is a master of the keys.
