Moments Worth Listening For

The way the muffled piano chords in 'Roze (forgive)' suddenly bloom into a clear, pulsing house beat.

The haunting repetition of the vocal loop in 'Faisal (envelops me)' that feels like a physical embrace.

The transition from the ambient city noise of the intro into the driving, rhythmic urgency of 'Catrin (the city)'.
