Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the soaring chorus of The Air That I Breathe with its updated 1986 synth pads.
The rhythmic, train-mimicking vocal delivery on I'm a Train that feels more electronic than the 70s original.
The gentle, intimate piano opening of When I Need You that showcases Hammond's aging, more resonant vocal tone.
