Moments Worth Listening For
The way the lead guitar mimics the vocal phrasing of John Lennon on Imagine with a gentle vibrato.
The transition into the upbeat, novelty-tinged rhythm of Thing-Me-Jig that breaks the mellow mood.
The shimmering, sustained notes on Sailing that capture the oceanic feel of the original through pure tone.
