Shifting between full rhythm sections and just bass and drums throughout the album, Turner waxes introspective with the breathy tone and plodding rhythm of the standard "Stardust." The album would be easily dismissible were it not for Turner's flights of interpretational fancy, which soar to great melodic heights yet still maintain the melancholia inherent to many tracks.
