Moments Worth Listening For

The four-note piano motif in Time that slowly accumulates a massive wall of brass and strings.

The frantic, detuned violin solo in Discombobulate that feels like a clockwork mechanism spinning out of control.

The sudden drop into a deep, distorted synth growl during Dream Is Collapsing that mimics the sensation of falling.
