Moments Worth Listening For
The way the organ on Polycoulrophon seems to melt and reform over seven minutes of slow-motion decay.
The sudden, sharp clarity of the acoustic guitar plucking on Six String Marenghi against a backdrop of tape hiss.
The unsettling, spectral atmosphere of The Death of a Trapeze Artist where the melody feels like a fading memory.
