Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, driving synth bassline that anchors the title track's sense of forward motion.
Ivan Doroschuk's voice dropping into an impossibly deep register during the bridge of the lead track.
The sudden burst of bright, polyphonic synthesizer chords that mimic the feeling of emerging from a tunnel.
