Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition in 'In Our Deaf Lands' where a delicate acoustic passage is suddenly obliterated by a polyrhythmic wall of sound.
The haunting use of French cinematic dialogue in 'Tio' that creates a sense of watching a film with no picture.
The final five minutes of 'Blind Man’s Eyes' where the album's themes converge into a crushing, repetitive, yet beautiful melodic resolution.
