Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into 'To Music' where the synth pads swell like a slow intake of breath beneath the intimate, close-mic spoken delivery.

The stark, desolate opening of 'Autumn Day' where the dry spoken voice hangs in a vast, empty space before the gentle piano enters.

The haunting, cyclical melody on 'The Panther' that perfectly captures the rhythmic, caged pacing of the poem's subject.
