New Beginnings (album)/Tropes

*Cut Song: "One Bad Mother", later released as the B-side to the title track.
*Epic Instrumental Opener: "Sky Rider" (a 5-and-a-half minute song) takes about a minute to get to the first line.
*Epic Rocking: "Trax" (6:33) and "Thank You (So Much) for the Ride" (7:47).
*Last Note Nightmare: "Sky Rider" ends with a loud blast of percussion, as if the song itself were about to explode.
*New Sound Album: This album shies away from the electronic elements of its predecessor and introduces a more straightforward sound. Luna's lyrics also become more overtly political ("Sky Rider", about the Gulf War).
*Signature Album: The Caboozers' best-selling and most well-known album.
*Special Guest: Patti Austin on "How Do You Keep The Music Playing", and Lucy Loud and Sadie Miller on "Trax".
*Spoken Word in Music: "Trax" has this, courtesy of Lucy Loud and Sadie Miller.
*Suspiciously Similar Song: The intro to "Trax" sounds like "On the Run" by Pink Floyd.
