Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting arrival of Aaliyah's vocals on track 2, sounding preserved in digital amber.
The sudden, jarring shift in percussion during the bridge of track 11 that feels like a glitch.
The way the bass frequencies on track 15 rattle the stereo frame without losing clarity.
