Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic guitar scratching that launches the title track into a high-speed disco glide.
Benson's intricate vocalese on 'Moody's Mood' where his voice mimics the agility of a saxophone.
The way the bassline on 'Off Broadway' anchors a driving instrumental that feels like a midnight chase.
