Moments Worth Waiting For
The opening synthesizer swell of 'While You See a Chance' that feels like a physical sunrise.
The hypnotic, interlocking percussion and synth bass interplay on the nearly eight-minute 'Night Train'.
The delicate, almost folk-like fragility of the vocal performance on the closing track 'Dust'.
