Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic expansion of the opening track as the piano and strings lock into a relentless, driving cycle.
The sudden shift into the Exit No Exit suite where the movements become shorter, sharper, and more fragmented.
The ten-minute climax of Part 10 where the repetition reaches a state of meditative, almost overwhelming intensity.
