Moments Worth Waiting For
The gravity-defying synth hook of the title track that mimics the feeling of a room turning upside down.
The unexpected, honeyed country harmonies of Alabama backing Lionel on Deep River Woman.
The eight-minute extended groove of Don't Stop where the percussion layers build into a hypnotic dance floor workout.
