The fade-in’s a bit like the THX chord, morphing from chaos into ordered music. It’s supremely effortless and smooth, and I’m sure it was a technical challenge to produce. The stately, imposing version of English that starts after the crescendo is my favorite version of that tune.

Not really a fan of the second half (it’s night and day, this one), though the lead-in to Jackpot is pretty slick.
