Moments Worth Listening For

The thirteen minute opening track where the woodwinds and voices slowly braid into a dense, hypnotic tapestry.

The sudden, sharp clarity of the vocal entry on 'The Needle' that breaks the instrumental tension.

The way 'Don't Go Back to Sleep' uses repetitive vocal cycles to simulate the hazy boundary of consciousness.
