Moments Worth Listening For
The way the cello mimics the iconic reggae-inflected bassline of Amber with a woody, resonant thrum.
The frantic, high-register violin runs that translate the aggressive rap-rock energy of Down into a sophisticated flurry.
The rhythmic pizzicato sections in Come Original that perfectly capture the syncopated 'skank' of the original track.
