Moments Worth Listening For

The transition in River of Life from a delicate, classical flute and acoustic guitar duet into a massive, wall-of-sound symphonic rock explosion.

The ecstatic, hyper-melodic Moog synthesizer hook that kicks off Celebration, instantly shifting the album into high-gear folk-dance energy.

The quiet, jazz-inflected piano solo in the middle of Il banchetto that suddenly gets swept away by a wave of dramatic Mellotron strings.
