Moments Worth Listening For
The intricate, Spanish-influenced acoustic guitar runs that open The Promenade’s Retreat.
The way the electric lead on the title track mimics the fluttering, erratic movement of a bird.
The sudden shift into a driving, jazz-rock fusion groove during the bridge of The One in 901.
