Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the woodwinds take the lead melody on Moon River, giving the classic tune a pastoral, woodland quality.
The transition into a more rhythmic, contemporary pulse during Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head that updates the 60s bounce.
The shimmering synth swells that open The Windmills of Your Mind, creating a sense of rotating, hypnotic motion.
